The Ontario Disability Support Program: What is it?

Who Can Get ODSP Funding for Incontinence Products?

To qualify for ODSP, you need to:

- Be 18 years or older.

- Live in Ontario.

- Have a significant physical or mental disability expected to last a year or more, affecting your ability to work and care for yourself.


Your Step-by-Step Guide to Getting Approved for ODSP Coverage and Ordering from Healthwick

 Step 1: Sign Up for ODSP

Start by applying for ODSP online, over the phone, or in person. You can find more details on how to apply here.

Step 2: Request the Mandatory Special Necessities Benefit Form

Once you're approved for ODSP benefits, you'll get a caseworker. Ask your caseworker for the Mandatory Special Necessities Benefit Form (MSN form).                                                                                                                                   

Step 3: Visit Your Doctor or Health Practitioner

Make an appointment with your family doctor or health practitioner. Talk to them about your needs and have them fill out the MSN form.

 

Step 4: Submit the MSN Form

Check what's approved on the MSN form, including quantities. Submit the form to your caseworker. Your caseworker will then ask you to get a quote for your supplies.

Step 5: Contact Healthwick for a Quote

Reach out to Healthwick to get a quote for your monthly supplies. Have the following info ready:

- Personal Info: Your name, address, phone number, and email.

- Caseworker Info: Their name, contact details, and ODSP office location.

- MID Number: Your ODSP Member ID.

- Product Details: The specific products you need (brand, model, size) and the monthly supply amount.

- Form and Quote Details: Confirm if your doctor has filled out the MSN form and if your caseworker asked for multiple vendor quotes.

- Shipping Preferences: Do you need discreet shipping? Do you want automatic monthly orders or prefer to contact Healthwick as needed?

Important Note: Make sure all this information matches what's on the MSN form.

Step 6: Approval and First Order

Once Healthwick hears back from your caseworker (this can take up to 15 business days), they'll contact you about your approval. After you're approved, they can place your first ODSP order.

By following these steps, you can easily get coverage for your incontinence supplies through ODSP and manage your orders with Healthwick.
