Does my private health insurance cover physiotherapy?

This will depend on your specific plan details. You can check your plan's physiotherapy coverage by phoning your insurer, checking your online account, or looking at the documentation provided to you by your insurer. Physiotherapy may be a combined benefit with other healthcare professionals such as massage therapy and chiropractic.

Do you directly bill private healthcare insurance companies?

We can direct bill most insurers. We use Telus Health for most of our insurance companies and can also direct bill to Blue Cross, Sunlife Financial, Green Shield, SSQ, and Empire Life. We also direct bill to WSIB for workplace accidents and car insurance providers for car accidents (MVAs). Each insurance plan may vary as to whether the payment is sent directly to the healthcare provider or to the insured patient. Some insurance companies may also require a doctor's referral to be able to direct bill. Call your insurance company or check your online account before your first visit to find out.

What should I expect when I see a physiotherapist?
expand_more

At your initial assessment, your physiotherapist will take a complete history of your injury or illness and ask you questions about your current concerns. Your physiotherapist will then assess the function of the affected area to determine a therapeutic diagnosis. This might include looking at your strength, range of motion, or balance. This information will help us develop a plan to treat the problem with the goal of restoring your function, preventing further injury in the future, and to enhance your quality of life.
