Coverage Details
Employer Extended Health Plans / Benefits
Services at pt Health are covered by most health care insurance plans.
If your insurance company allows direct billing and payment we will look after the billing for you.
If your insurance company will not allow direct billing and payment, you will pay the clinic and submit to your insurance company. However, pt Health will assist with your paperwork to make it easier for you.
Motor Vehicle Accident Coverage
Billed Directly For Your Convenience
If you have extended health care benefits that cover therapy, most auto insurance companies require that your claim be placed through your extended health plan first.
Any remaining balances for services are then covered by your auto insurance plan.
On your first visit, you may be asked to provide information about your extended health plan. If you do not have extended health care benefits which covers therapy, your treatments may be billed directly through your auto insurance company.
For residents of British Columbia, ICBC covers a partial amount of treatment visits. Patients will be asked to co-pay the difference at each visit. If a patient has extended health care benefits, it is possible to claim the difference back.
Workplace Safety Insurance Board (WSIB/WCB)
Billed Directly For Your Convenience
WSIB/WCB provides physiotherapy coverage for workers injured on the job.
We bill WSIB/WCB directly for treatments provided, complete necessary forms, progress reports and treatment extensions.
We also communicate with adjudicators, your workplace and other healthcare professionals involved in your treatment.
Our team can help you navigate through any WSIB/WCB paperwork that you may be unsure about.
OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan)
Effective August 22nd, 2013, the Ontario Ministry of Health changed how physiotherapy services are being funded.
The new model, described as an “Episode of Care”, will consist of a block of physiotherapy treatments provided to patients that meet the OHIP criteria. Learn more about OHIP.
The number, frequency and duration of visits offered during each episode of care must be necessary and reasonable for the treatment of your condition. Your physiotherapist will use their clinical judgement and evidence-based best practices to make that decision.
Keep in mind, this program does not cover services aimed to maintain an existing level of function. A new referral from a physician or nurse practitioner is required for each episode of care.
The eligibility criteria for OHIP is the same:
- Age 65 or over
- Age 19 or younger
- Post Hospital stay
- On ODSP or Ontario Works
Learn more about recent OHIP changes.
Blue Cross Billing
At some pt Health clinics, we will bill Blue Cross directly for physiotherapy and massage therapy treatments for members of:
- RCMP
- DND
- Canadian Forces
- Veterans Affairs
For any treatments partially covered, you may be asked to co-pay the difference at each visit.
