Ontario Assistive Devices Program
How ADP billing works through an authorized vendor
After ADP approves eligible equipment, the authorized vendor bills the program directly for its approved contribution. You do not pay that contribution first and claim it back.
The assessment and approval come before the order. Westin Healthcare helps coordinate the authorizer, equipment trial, application and billing.
The coverage boundary
ADP covers wheelchairs, approved scooters and seating only.
For an eligible applicant, ADP can contribute to an approved manual or power wheelchair, an approved mobility scooter, or specialised seating such as cushions and backrests. Approval is specific to the person and device.
From assessment to billing
Five steps happen before the program is billed.
An authorized vendor cannot decide eligibility or skip the ADP approval process. Each role stays clear.
Confirm the need
The applicant needs a valid Ontario health card and a qualifying long-term need for an eligible wheelchair, approved scooter or seating system.
Meet an authorizer
An ADP-registered occupational therapist or physiotherapist assesses functional mobility and recommends the appropriate device.
Choose the vendor
The applicant chooses an ADP-registered vendor. Westin Healthcare can trial the recommended equipment and prepare the vendor portion.
Submit and wait
The completed application goes to ADP. Equipment should not be ordered as ADP-funded until written approval is received.
Deliver and bill
After approval, the vendor supplies the approved device and bills ADP directly for the program contribution.
Who pays what
Direct billing removes the reimbursement step.
ADP pays the authorized vendor its approved contribution. The customer is responsible for the remaining approved share and for features or upgrades beyond the approved specification.
For eligible recipients of Ontario Works, the Ontario Disability Support Program or Assistance for Children with Severe Disabilities, the remaining approved share can be handled through the applicable assistance process. Tell the vendor about those benefits before the application is submitted.
The vendor should separate the approved specification from optional additions before anything is ordered, so the customer can see which parts belong to the ADP file.
Not ADP categories
Do not start an ADP application for these products.
ADP does not cover bathroom equipment, beds, stairlifts, ramps, lifts, slings, batteries, braces or overbed tables. Other funding programs may have different rules.
Start with the equipment category.
Tell us whether the need is for a wheelchair, an approved scooter or seating. If it is outside those three categories, use the funding guide instead of an ADP application.
