DOES INSURANCE COVER IT?

If you have extended health benefits, have been injured as a result of an automobile accident, or have a claim under WSBC (previously WCB), then you will likely have all of your treatment paid for. If you are using extended health benefits, check the details of your coverage in your Extended Health Manual, or speak with your Human Resources department.

DO I NEED A REFERRAL FROM MY DOCTOR?

No referral is necessary to participate in physiotherapy treatment. However, if you are on an ICBC claim, work related claim than you will need a referral from doctor. Extended health coverage patients are advised to check the details of their extended health benefits as some plans may require a physician's referral in order to get treatment costs reimbursed.
