Yes, we do accept ICBC claims. ICBC patients are still required to pay a visit charge ($15.00 per visit) and an official receipt will be issued. If the date of accident is more than 90 days before your first visit or if you have been elsewhere for services under this claim, pre-approval from ICBC is required and a doctor’s note may be requested.

Yes, we do accept WSBC claims. Your claim must be “pending” or “accepted” at the time of first treatment in order for WSBC to be billed the assessment cost. If your claim is more than 60 days since the date of injury, pre-approval is required from WorkSafeBC prior to your visit, or the private visit rate will be charged. When your claim is approved and processed by WSBC, you will be reimbursed.

Most extended health plans do cover for physiotherapy services. We do not directly bill to your extended health plans; however, we will provide you with an official receipt that can be submitted to your provider for reimbursement. Please check with your provider for more details.

You are not required a doctor’s note to seek private physiotherapy treatments; however, some extended health plans may require it. Please contact your provider for more details. If you are seeking treatments under ICBC or WSBC, it is best to provide us with a doctor’s note.
