Motor Vehicle Accidents

 If You Are Hurt In a Motor Vehicle Accident

If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident, it is recommended that you begin physiotherapy and/or massage therapy as soon as possible in order to allow for a quicker recovery from the time of the accident.

Upon assessment of your condition, a physiotherapist will complete an initial report outlining his/her clinical findings, along with a treatment plan indicating types and length of treatment recommended. These documents will then be sent to your insurance adjuster for review before authorization of the entire treatment plan is given.

The aim of treatment is to return you to your previous level of function. Treatment will focus on active strengthening, stretching, conditioning, and pain-relieving modalities as needed.

Billing for Motor Vehicle Accident Insurance Claims

If you have extended health care benefits:

In Ontario, if you have an extended health care plan that covers any treatment you are receiving, motor vehicle insurance companies require that you claim through that plan first. Any remaining balances are then covered by your motor vehicle accident insurance plan. You will therefore be asked to provide this information when you come in for your assessment.

If you have extended health benefits available to you either personally or through a spouse/relative, you will be required to pay for your treatments and be given a receipt.  This receipt can be submitted to your extended health insurer for re-imbursement.  Once re-imbursed, you will also be sent an explanation of benefits from your extended health insurer.  You can bring this document in so that we may bill any remaining balance directly to your motor vehicle insurer.

If you do not have any extended health care benefits:

If you do not have an extended health care plan which covers physiotherapy , your treatments can be billed directly through your motor vehicle accident insurance company.
