Costs of Physiotherapy in Lindsay, Ontario

Treatments are covered by most insurance plans and can direct bill your insurance company when available.

OHIP stands for Ontario Health Insurance Plan. Funding is provided through the Ontario Community Physiotherapy Clinic Program, and is available to eligible patients free of charge.
A referral is required by your doctor or nurse practitioner. Your physiotherapist will complete an assessment, diagnose your condition and develop a treatment plan based on your goals.

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident (MVA) in Ontario, you are entitled to accident benefits coverage. Under the Ontario Insurance Act, no-fault insurance entitles all individuals involved to coverage regardless of whether you were at fault. The amount of funding you will receive depends on the type of injury that you have sustained.

If you have been in a car accident you should contact your insurance company to let them know. And then book an appointment with a physiotherapist to start treatment right away. The good news is that you don’t have to wait for approval by the insurer to get started. And the clinic can bill the automobile insurer directly so you can focus on recovering and not on all the hassles with paperwork and payments.

Injured at work? Then you may be eligible to have your treatment covered by WSIB.

If you have injured yourself at work you and your employer need to file a WSIB claim and complete the necessary paperwork. You can then go for an assessment at an approved WSIB physiotherapy clinic. With an approved claim the WSIB will cover the cost of your treatment based on their approved fee schedule.

Physiotherapy is normally included in a healthcare benefit package provided by your employer or purchased by you. Coverage varies plan to plan, and can range from $300 in a calendar year up to an unlimited amount. So you need to look into the details of your health benefits coverage. Physiotherapists are direct access professionals and do not require a referral. However, there are still a few insurers that require a referral from a doctor to access your physiotherapy coverage.

Most clinics offer direct billing so they will be able to manage the administration of your reimbursement so you can focus your efforts on your treatment instead of managing paperwork and payments.

The fees for physiotherapy services vary depending on the type of treatment, your condition, and time that is required. Some clinics offer more specialized services and do charge more per session.

Assessments: $105 to $180
Treatments $75 – $140

You will always be told the cost of the services when you book your first appointment and the therapist will give you a detailed treatment plan including expectations and costs after your initial assessment.

Lindsay Physiotherapy FAQs

There are a few different ways to get your physiotherapy treatments covered in Lindsay, Ontario.

Were you injured at work?

Then you may be eligible to have your entire treatment covered by WSIB. If you have injured yourself at work you and your employee need to fill out a WSIB claim. You can then go for an assessment at an approved WSIB physiotherapy clinic. The initial physiotherapy examination and first treatment will be paid for by WSIB.

Further physiotherapy treatment is only approved once the claim is accepted. If approved, the WSIB may authorize physiotherapy treatment for up to six weeks. That means you won’t be required to pay anything out of your own pocket and your treatment will be free.

Are you covered under OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan)?

OHIP funded physiotherapy is limited to Community Based Clinics that have an agreement with the Ministry of Health. An assessment at a clinic that provides provincial funding is required to determine if you are eligible.
