• Anne Jamieson frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of numbness, tingling, or weakness in my hands, arms, feet, or legs. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets a noticeable reduction in daily discomfort, making everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like performing tasks requiring fine motor skills and dexterity with ease.
• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of managing stiffness, tremors, and movement challenges with Parkinson's disease? Anne Jamieson works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of less reliance on pain medication, trusting more in their body's ability to heal and function.

Does Manual Concepts Physiotherapy offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Manual Concepts Physiotherapy does not offer direct billing at this time. We provide detailed official receipts that you can easily submit to your insurer for reimbursement according to your plan. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment and always confirm your specific coverage details, including any annual maximums, per-visit limits, or deductible requirements, directly with your insurance provider, as plans vary significantly. You are responsible for any portion not covered by your insurance.

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

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services in private outpatient clinics for most of the population. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization for certain conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams), but eligibility criteria are strict and there may be waitlists. It is strongly recommended to check your private insurance for coverage of services in private clinics.

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

Patients in ON can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a physician's referral. However, some private/extended health insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.

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

Many private health insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for registered physiotherapy services. Contact your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand your plan's specifics. Key things to check include your annual maximum for physiotherapy, any per-visit limits or co-payments, whether a doctor's referral is required for reimbursement, and if your plan allows for direct billing. If Manual Concepts Physiotherapy offered direct billing and your plan allowed it, we could bill your insurer directly for the covered portion. You would be responsible for any co-payment or remaining balance. Bring your insurance card and policy details to your first appointment. If direct billing is not possible, we will provide an official receipt for submission to your insurer.

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first physiotherapy appointment?

For your first visit, please bring your provincial health card, any relevant medical information such as a doctor's referral note (if you have one), reports from recent imaging (like X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound scans), and a list of your current medications. Also, if you plan to use private health insurance, bring your insurance card or policy details. Finally, wear or bring comfortable clothing suitable for assessment and movement.
