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 Ontarians. 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. Check your private insurance for coverage; many plans offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics. Always verify your specific eligibility directly with OHIP.

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: annual maximum for physiotherapy, per-visit limits or co-payments, referral requirements, and direct billing options. If Dan Bosy Physical Therapy offers direct billing and your plan allows it, we can bill your insurer directly for the covered portion. You'll be responsible for any co-payment or remaining balance. Bring your insurance card and policy details to your first appointment. If direct billing isn't possible, we'll provide a receipt for submission to your insurer.

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

While some techniques might feel uncomfortable or cause temporary soreness, it shouldn't be excessively painful. Dan Bosy will discuss expected sensations and adjust intensity to ensure your comfort while achieving therapeutic benefits. Communicate your comfort level throughout your treatment.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

This depends on many factors. After your initial assessment, Dan Bosy will estimate the number and frequency of sessions needed. We'll regularly review your progress and adjust the plan as needed.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy involves skilled, hands-on treatments to assess and treat your joints, muscles, and nerves, decreasing pain and improving mobility. Techniques include joint mobilizations, soft tissue release, and sometimes manipulations (adjustments) if appropriate.

Does Dan Bosy Physical Therapy offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Dan Bosy Physical Therapy offers direct billing for most major private insurance companies. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. Always confirm your specific coverage details with your insurance provider.
