MB Post-Op Knee & Hip Replacement Program

Physiotherapy is now partially covered by Manitoba Health after a total hip or knee replacement.

Who is covered?

• Anyone who has had a total hip or knee replacement on or after January 1st, 2023.

• Fine print: This must be your first Physiotherapy session after surgery to qualify for all six sessions. Any appointment with Physio post-surgery will use one of your sessions, regardless of insurance coverage or paid out-of-pocket. Pre-surgery prehab sessions do not count.

How much coverage?

• Individuals are covered for up to six sessions (assessment and five subsequent) or $540, whichever comes first.

• Fine print: Individuals must use their third-party insurance coverage (if they have any) before the program kicks in. For example, if your Blue Cross covers 80% of the session, we can bill you or MB Health the remaining 20%. BOTH OPTIONS are considered one of six sessions. If you have no insurance or your insurance has been exhausted, MB Health will cover up to $90 per session.
