FAQ

Do I need a prescription for therapy?

NO. A Doctor's prescription is not required to attend our rehabilitation department. Depending upon the details of your private health plan, you may require a prescription in order for our services to be covered by your Health Insurance Company.

In order to see our Chronic Pain Physicians, you will require a direct referral to our CPM Department as this service is covered by OHIP.

Are you funded by OHIP?

YES AND NO. We are private clinics. As of early 2005, OHIP no longer covers the costs of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation services. Now, therapy fees are only covered by patient direct payments, Extended Health Insurance, WSIB (Worker's Compensation), and Auto Insurance policies. To keep the rehabilitation affordable and accessible to everyone, we offer Community Service Therapy Program options for those without Extended Health Insurance. These programs range from $17-30/visit. Please feel free to contact our clinics for more information.

However, our Chronic Pain Department (CPM) is fully funded by OHIP. You require a referral from your family physician to see one of our Chronic Pain Physicians.
