Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiotherapist in ON?

In Ontario, you can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a doctor's referral. This is known as direct access. However, some private health insurance plans may require a referral for coverage. It is crucial to check with your insurance provider before your appointment to understand their specific requirements.

How can I book an appointment at Ottawa Physiotherapy and Sport Clinic - Orleans?

You can book an appointment by calling the clinic directly at (613) 830-3466 during business hours. Online booking may also be available through their website. The reception team can assist you in finding a suitable time.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private insurance plans cover physiotherapy, either fully or partially. Before your appointment, contact your insurer to determine your coverage details, including annual maximums, per-visit limits, co-payments, referral requirements, and direct billing options. If direct billing is available and your plan allows it, the clinic can bill your insurer directly. Otherwise, you'll receive a receipt to submit for reimbursement. Bring your insurance card and policy details to your first appointment.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

Wear or bring clothing that allows easy movement and access to the body part being treated. For example, shorts for knee problems or a sleeveless top for shoulder issues.

What is Ottawa Physiotherapy and Sport Clinic - Orleans's appointment cancellation policy?

We request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations or missed appointments may incur a fee. Please contact the clinic as soon as possible if you need to change your appointment.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

OHIP generally does not cover physiotherapy in private clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy may be available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization) but eligibility is limited. Check your private insurance coverage for private clinic services.
