If some folks do not have computer to sign up for new card where do you go ?

Do you need to sign up for this or will you get one in the mail automatically?

If you phone the 800 # in the link that someone provided here, they can do it manually. At least they did mine.

Oh goodness me, how silly of me to say "go to their website" when your question specifically says you have no computer (dah, on my part). The Manitoba Health # is on your card 1-800-392-1207. Have your card ready because they will need information from it. They did mine over the phone.

Your link should still work on their phone, which I assume they are using to post this question on eBrandon? They should be able to submit the application on their phone anyway.

Give it a try

If you are able post on here with your phone you can use your cell phone to access site and order one.  
 
You need to request card not automatically sent.

Some people I know do not have internet . or cell phone have only landline so now I know to do the old fashion way .

You need to sign up for it. The new ones do not have your home address on them, which means we no longer have to update the paper card, yay!!!  
 
Many people do not update their address on their health card so sending them out would be a waste of time and money. This is why they’re asking for people to apply for the new cards  
 
I’ve also heard some will not be requesting the new style because it is individual cards and they don’t want to carry all their children’s cards with them.

Thank you Sammy for your answer.

There is a social worker at 144 6th street that can help apply for this I think.
