Claiming treatment costs

How to claim treatment costs

In general, to claim a treatment expense, you need to give your MAIB claim number to your medical provider and ask them to invoice the MAIB directly. If you are sent an invoice, you should send it to the MAIB together with your MAIB claim number.

If you pay for a service yourself and want the MAIB to repay you, please keep your receipt and send it to the MAIB for reimbursement. To enable reimbursement to be made, MAIB must have your current bank details.

Things to know:

  • You must have an accepted MAIB claim.
  • The treatment must be for your accident related injuries.

Resuming treatment

Resuming treatment after a long period

If you are starting treatment again after a break of more than six months, we suggest you contact us first to make sure that the MAIB can still pay for your treatment.

Before deciding whether we can pay for your treatment, the MAIB may contact your treating medical provider or we may ask you to provide updated medical advice from your treating medical provider in order to:

  • Confirm the treatment is related to the injury sustained in the motor accident.
  • Find out the reason for the break in your treatment.
  • Obtain details about the proposed treatment plan.

Once the MAIB has this information we will make a decision about whether we can pay for the treatment.
