Check commercial products first. • Your health professionals are included at every step. • You don't need to send medical documents. ▸ How to ask for help: 1. Fill out the online Request Assistance form (or print the PDF form). 2. You'll describe yourself, your disability, and what you need. ▸ Contact: 604-688-6464
