- Does Renew Integrative Health offer direct billing to private insurance companies?
- Yes, Renew Integrative Health offers direct billing to most major private insurance providers such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, and Green Shield. Patients are advised to bring their insurance card or details and confirm their specific coverage with their insurer, as plans and reimbursement limits vary. Patients are responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.
- What is Renew Integrative Health'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 should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?
- The first chiropractic session is primarily about assessment and understanding your needs. Dr. Mok will ask about your health background and perform various physical tests. The goal is to identify the cause of your problem so a tailored treatment plan can be created with you. You will have the opportunity to ask questions, and if appropriate, treatment may begin on this first visit.
- Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I’m pregnant?
- Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe and can be very effective for managing common musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica that often arise due to hormonal changes and shifting biomechanics. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure the comfort and safety of both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Mok, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
- Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
- In Ontario, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning you can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It's best to check your individual insurance policy for specific requirements.
- What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?
- When a chiropractor refers to a subluxation or joint restriction, they are typically describing a joint that isn’t moving properly or is misaligned in a way that can affect nerve function and lead to discomfort or other health issues. Chiropractic adjustments aim to address these specific joint problems.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
- Ontario's OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics for most residents. There may 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 this is rare. Patients are advised to check their private insurance coverage for reimbursement options.
