Major Medical / Dental Coverage
This insurance augments Provincial, Medical and Hospital plans. It covers players, coaches, referees and other designated volunteers against accidents that occur during participation in a Hockey Canada/Branch sanctioned activity.
This plan is designed to provide coverage for those who might otherwise not be covered by any other group health insurance plan. It can also serve as a supplement to other similar coverage an individual or family may hold, to achieve maximum allowable coverage. It is not applicable as an addition when another plan's coverage meets or exceeds the allowable amount. If you have primary insurance you must make a claim to them first. If you have maximized those benefits you need to send in documentation to Hockey Manitoba to verify this. You can then claim any additional expenses through Hockey Canada.

To Make a Claim
- SECURE a Hockey Canada Injury Report Form from your team or Minor Hockey Association.
- COMPLETE THE FORM IN ITS ENTIRITY. Have your team official complete the team section and your Doctor/Dentist complete the back of the form. If any portion of the front page is not completed the form will be returned to you and the claim process will be delayed. If a Doctor or Dentist has not filled out the second page you will not receive any reimbursement.The Physician's statement must be filled out by a licensed physician. It cannot be filled out by a physiotherapist. This portion cannot be filled out by the same person that is providing the treament. ie: a Chirpractor can not fill it out and then provide chiropractic treatment.
- SUBMIT the fully completed form to the Hockey Manitoba office (along with any receipts or invoices you have accumulated at this point) within 90 days of the date of injury. If forms are incomplete they will be returned.
NOTE:
- Only completed Injury Report Forms received in the Hockey Manitoba office within 90 days of the date of injury will be accepted. Additional invoices and receipts may be added to the claim for up to 365 days.
- Forms must be completed in their entirety or the forms will be returned.
- Claims are verified in the Hockey Manitoba office and then sent on to Hockey Canada for processing. This is a lengthly process and can take up to 8-12 weeks or more.
- Hockey Manitoba recommends that if your claim includes an ambulance bill it be paid and the injured party seek person reimbusement from Hockey Canada. The claims take a considerable amount of time to process and Hockey Canada is not responsible for any late fees.
- Dental claims will be approved up to the maximum allowable benefit as long as the members were participating in sanctioned activities and the damage is to their exisiting teeth (not to artificial teeth or dentures, permenant bridgework accepted). X-rays DO NOT need to be submitted with a dental claim.
