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

In Ontario, you can typically 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 is crucial to check your individual insurance policy before your first appointment to understand their requirements for physiotherapy reimbursement.

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

OHIP generally does not cover physiotherapy services in private outpatient clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in certain situations, such as post-hospitalization for specific conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams. Eligibility criteria are strict, and waitlists may apply. Check your private insurance coverage, as many plans offer significant coverage for physiotherapy in private clinics. You should verify your eligibility for any public coverage 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. Key details to check include your annual maximum for physiotherapy, any per-visit limits or co-payments, whether a doctor's referral is required, and if your plan allows direct billing. If CBI Health Centre-London Fanshawe 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 appointment. If direct billing isn't possible, we'll provide a receipt for submission to your insurer.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions needed varies depending on your individual situation and recovery. Some acute conditions may resolve in a few sessions, while chronic or complex issues may require more. Your Physiotherapist will provide an estimated timeline after your initial assessment, which will be adjusted as your treatment progresses.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Physiotherapy helps people of all ages improve movement, function, and well-being. A registered Physiotherapist uses evidence-based techniques (exercise, manual therapy, education) to assess, diagnose, and treat injuries, pain, and physical impairments. It can reduce pain, increase mobility and strength, aid recovery from surgery, prevent future injuries, and improve quality of life.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy uses hands-on techniques to assess and treat joints, muscles, and nerves, reducing pain and improving mobility. This may include joint mobilizations, soft tissue release, and sometimes manipulations (adjustments), depending on your condition and therapist's qualifications.

Does CBI Health Centre-London Fanshawe offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, CBI Health Centre-London Fanshawe offers direct billing for most major private insurance companies. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your first appointment. Always confirm your specific coverage details with your insurance provider, including any annual maximums, per-visit limits, or deductible requirements, as plans vary.
