Do I qualify for OHIP Funding?
Clinic services are funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health (OHIP) for:
- Children 19 years of age and younger
- Seniors 65 years of age and older
- Clients recently discharged as an inpatient from a hospital, and in need of physiotherapy clinic services related to the condition, illness or injury for which they were admitted to the hospital
- Clients eligible for funding of services under the Ontario Disability Support (ODSP) or Ontario Works (OW) programs.
A referral from your physician or nurse practitioner is required.
Do I need a doctor’s referral to come to physiotherapy?
Yes, a referral from your doctor or nurse practitioner is required for funding under the OHIP model. However, if you plan to attend for private pay services a referral from your doctor is not required. Some private insurance companies require a doctors referral before providing extended coverage however each one is different so it is best to check your personal plan.
