Insurance & Direct Billing
How insurance coverage and direct billing work at our Niagara Falls, Thorold, Grimsby, Hamilton and Dundas clinics.
Offered at the following locations
Overview
Most extended health plans cover physiotherapy, chiropractic care and massage therapy. We make using your benefits simple.
Physiotherapy, chiropractic care and registered massage therapy are covered by most workplace and private extended health plans in Ontario. Our front desk team can bill many insurance companies directly, so you only pay the amount your plan does not cover. We direct bill many insurers, including but not limited to Manulife, Sun Life, Canada Life, Green Shield, Blue Cross and Desjardins.
You do not need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist, chiropractor or massage therapist in Ontario. Some insurance plans do ask for a referral before they will pay, so check your plan before your first visit.

Before your first visit

Before your first visit, call your insurance company or check your benefits app and ask three questions: how much coverage you have each year for physiotherapy, chiropractic care or massage therapy, whether there is a limit per visit, and whether you need a doctor's referral.
Bring your benefits card with your plan and member numbers to your first appointment. Our team will check your coverage and take care of the rest.
Paying for your visit
If we can bill your plan directly, we submit the claim when you check out and you pay only what your plan does not cover. If your plan does not allow direct billing, you pay at the clinic and we give you a detailed receipt to submit yourself.
Have a question about your coverage? Call us at 289-674-4400 before you book and our team will help.
Bracing, orthotics and products: we don't direct bill for bracing, orthotics or other products. Payment is due at the time of purchase, and you can submit your receipt to your insurer. We're happy to give you an estimate in advance so you can confirm your coverage.
OHIP and WSIB: our clinics are not OHIP funded, and we don't bill WSIB for physiotherapy or other rehab services. Our sports medicine physicians and orthopaedic surgeons bill OHIP and WSIB for their own services through their own office teams.
