Patients must travel more than 75 km from home to the nearest clinic. Patients can also qualify if they travel more than 50 km one way or 150 km over a 4-week period for cancer or dialysis treatment. A doctor must confirm the treatment and need for travel as part of the application. People must meet certain criteria to access this scheme.
