We can direct bill to the following plan providers:
What services can you direct bill for?
We offer direct billing for massage therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, physiotherapy, and naturopathic appointments. At this time, we cannot direct bill to extended health insurance for Athletic Therapy, Osteopathy appointments, or Clinical Counselling.
When you schedule an appointment, you will be sent an online intake form to fill in. Please fill in the Insurance Information section of your online intake form if you would like us to direct bill to your extended health insurance on your behalf (paper copies of this form are available at the clinic if necessary). The client will fill out and sign a direct billing information and consent form, and the claim will be submitted while the client is in their appointment or once they’ve come out of their appointment (if the appointment length is subject to change).
What if I have a primary and a secondary plan?
At this time, we can only direct bill to your primary plan.
What if I have a plan provider that is not listed above?
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer direct billing to any plan provider not listed above but we will provide you with the receipt that you can submit to your extended health insurers.
Can the clinic find out which services I am covered for and how much coverage I get for each one?
No. In order to determine your extended health coverage, you must contact the insurance company directly or find out from your employer. Each plan is different and we do not have access to that information.
What about the Dietitian, can I use direct billing for that treatment?
We can direct bill to the following plans for dietitian treatments: CanadaLife, BPA, Chambers of Commerce, CINUP, Claims Secure, First Canadian, Johnston Group, Maximum Benefits, IA Financial, GMS, Medavie Blue Cross.
We cannot direct bill the following plans for dietitian treatments: Sunlife, Pacific Blue Cross, Desjardins, ICBC
Check in with your extended health insurance provider to determine if you have dietitian coverage.
