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

In Ontario, you can usually 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's crucial to check your insurance policy before your appointment to avoid unexpected costs.

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

Many private health insurance plans cover physiotherapy, either fully or partially. Before your first appointment, contact your insurer to understand your coverage details. This includes your annual maximum, per-visit limits, any co-payments, whether a doctor's referral is needed for reimbursement, and if direct billing is available. If direct billing is an option and your plan allows it, we can bill your insurer directly for the covered portion. You'll be responsible for any remaining balance. Bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. If direct billing isn't possible, we'll provide a receipt for you to submit to your insurer.

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

OHIP generally does not cover physiotherapy services in private clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations, such as after hospitalization for certain conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams. Eligibility criteria are strict, and waitlists may exist. Check your private insurance for coverage in private clinics.

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

Comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement is best for your physiotherapy appointment – think about what you might wear to a gym or for light exercise. If you're being treated for a lower-body issue (like hip or knee pain), shorts are very helpful. For upper-body issues (like shoulder or neck pain), a tank top or loose t-shirt is suitable so the Physiotherapist can properly examine and treat the area.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your first appointment will begin with a detailed evaluation. Anne Marie Rogers will discuss your symptoms, their impact on your daily life, medical history, and your goals for therapy. A physical assessment will follow to help determine the cause of your problem and assess your physical capabilities. Anne Marie Rogers will then explain her findings, work with you to set treatment goals, and outline a plan of care. You'll likely receive initial advice, exercises, or hands-on treatment.
