To submit claims for residents from other provinces (except Quebec), follow the below steps. The system sees the patient’s province code with the health card information and takes care of the submission details.
⚠️ Important: Quebec patients are excluded from the below process. Manitoba Health does not have reciprocal billing with Quebec. We recommend that you bill patients directly and instruct them to seek reimbursement when they return home.
⚠️ Important: Before creating the bill, you must ensure that:
the patient's health number is recorded and has the correct identification type.
📌 Note: If you do not see the identification in the list, add a new one. See Adding additional patient identifiers.the patient’s full address is recorded.
The Province must be two letters (MB, SK, etc.) and
The Country must be CAN.
📌 Note: The street address can't be longer than 25 characters.
Steps
Create a provincial bill. Depending on your workflow, you can create bills from an encounter, a patient's chart or the Visits dashboard.
Use Manitoba billing codes when creating a bill for an out-of-province patient. Make sure the payment issuer (or template) is set to Manitoba Health. Refer to Adding billing items (service codes) to your provincial bills for more information.
📌 Note: If you need to provide additional information to Manitoba Health, select Show Advanced Fields and add supporting text. Note that your bill will need to be reviewed manually by Manitoba Health.
Change the status of the bill to Ready To Submit and save the bill.
