Active Care Physiotherapy – Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions answered by the team at our London and Ingersoll physiotherapy and massage therapy clinics.
1. Do I need a doctor’s referral?
Physiotherapists are primary health care professionals, meaning you can go directly to a physiotherapist. You do not need a referral from your physician. However, insurance companies sometimes require a doctor’s referral before they will reimburse cost.
2. Will insurance cover my treatment?
Most insurance companies cover physiotherapy services however the only way to be sure is by contacting your plan administrator. If your treatment is required as the result of a motor vehicle accident or a W.S.I.B claim you may be covered.
3. Can you direct bill my insurance plan?
We direct bill for W.S.I.B. and motor vehicle accident claims. Depending on the insurance company we may have the ability to direct bill. Please contact our office and we would be happy to answer any specific inquiries.
