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

Check your private insurance for private clinic coverage and verify your specific eligibility for any public coverage directly with OHIP.

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.
