As of April 2005, the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) no longer offers funding for physiotherapy visits. However, most extended health plans now offer coverage for Physiotherapy treatments.
Coverage by Extended Healthcare Plans
While you do not require a doctor's referral to attend Nepean Orthopaedic Physiotherapy Clinic, your insurance company may require one to process your claim. For specifc inquiries regarding your coverage or requirements, contact your extended health insurance company.
Since most extended health insurance companies currently do not accept direct billing from Physiotherapy clinics, we request payment for assessments and/or treatments after each visit. Payment can be made by cash, cheque, debit or credit card.
If you will be claiming your treatments through any extended insurance, a receipt will be provided to you after each payment, which you can then submit for reimbursement.
Coverage by Motor Vehicle Insurance Plans
If you have injuries stemming from a motor vehicle accident, your treatment should be covered by your car insurance. These treatments can be billed directly to your car insurance company.
If you have sustained an injury while at work, you may be eligible to claim it through the Workplace Safety and Inurance Board (WSIB). If your claim has been approved, Nepean Orthopaedic Physiotherapy Clinic can bill WSIB directly for your treatments.
