Our Rates
Many extended health plans cover some or all of the cost of physiotherapy treatments, but it depends on the provider and plan. You should contact your benefits provider to find out how much of the treatments they cover. In all cases, unless you are covered by ICBC or WorkSafeBC (WCB), you have to pay for your treatments and then get reimbursed by your insurance company.
The Medical Services Plan (MSP) only partially covers the cost of physiotherapy treatments and only for those who receive premium assistance. If you are unsure if you qualify, you can call our office with your Care Card number and we can find out for you.
Our rates are listed below, but please confirm our current rates when you make your appointment.
