90. The need for transportation by taxi must be certified in writing by the physician, dentist, specialized nurse practitioner or midwife, as the case may be, unless it is the most economical means of transportation. The certificate must establish that the urgency of the situation or the nature of the treatment prevents the use of a more economical means of transportation.
In the case of the transportation of an adult, the special benefit for the cost of each trip is reduced by the lesser of $20 and 20% of the transportation cost. The maximum reduction is $20 per month without exceeding $100 per year per adult, calculated using the date of receipt of the application for payment or, if applicable, the date of prior authorization by the Minister.
The special benefit may be paid directly to the taxi transport service provider with the consent of the independent adult or an adult member of the family.
