Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

Generally, OHIP does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics for most of the population. There might be very limited exceptions through specific government programs or if care is delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare for typical private practice. Patients are advised to verify their private insurance coverage for chiropractic services.

What is Victoria Street Chiropractic's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that life happens! However, to ensure we can accommodate all our patients, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. Appointments missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a cancellation fee. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to make changes.

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

It’s best to wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing that allows for ease of movement. Athletic wear, leggings, comfortable pants, and a t-shirt are generally good choices. This allows your Chiropractor to easily assess your posture and movement, and perform any necessary examinations or treatments. You may be asked to change into a gown for certain parts of the examination if needed.

Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Ontario, meaning you can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private/extended health insurance plans may require a doctor’s referral for reimbursement purposes. It’s advisable to check your individual insurance policy for specific requirements.

Does Victoria Street Chiropractic offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Victoria Street Chiropractic offers direct billing to most major private insurance providers such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, and Green Shield. Patients should bring their insurance details and confirm their coverage with their insurer, as plans and benefits vary. Patients are responsible for co-payments or amounts not covered by their insurance plan.

Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?

X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Gropp will perform a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging is necessary. Imaging is typically recommended to rule out serious conditions such as fractures or pathology, or if the patient’s condition is not improving as expected, always following established guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.
