Does Halton Healthcare offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

While Halton Healthcare does not offer direct billing, they provide detailed official receipts for submission to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. Always confirm your coverage details, including annual maximums, per-visit limits, or deductibles, directly with your insurance provider, as plans vary significantly. You are responsible for any portion not covered by your insurance.

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. We recommend contacting your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand your plan's specifics. Key things to check include your annual maximum, per-visit limits or co-payments, referral requirements, and whether direct billing is allowed. If Halton Healthcare offered direct billing and your plan allowed it, they would bill your insurer directly for the covered portion. You'd be responsible for any co-payment or remaining balance. If direct billing isn't possible, you'll receive an official receipt to submit to your insurer. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment.

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 (direct access). However, some private insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Your initial appointment will be about an hour long for a comprehensive assessment. Follow-up sessions are usually 30-45 minutes, but this can vary.

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

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy in private outpatient clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization) but eligibility is strict. Check your private insurance for coverage.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?
