We make a point of providing exceptional healthcare

Even though this is a common question, there isn’t a single answer. All insurance plans are different:

• some extended health plans offer 100% coverage and unlimited sessions
• other health plans give a set dollar amount to “spend” on physiotherapy each year
• in general, it’s common for plans to cover $300 – $500 annually
• we offer direct billing to 3rd-party insurers, so feel free to call the clinic at 250.591.3730 if you have further questions

Remember, each plan varies. Some may require a Doctor’s referral or have other specific requirements, so it’s important that you get the details from your provider.

Think of Physiotherapists as project managers for recovering from injuries. A good physio doesn’t just treat you or prescribe exercises but will understand and manage all aspects of your recovery. Physiotherapists combine in-depth knowledge of how the body works with specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat symptoms of illness, injury or disability.

Your treatment plan will usually involve education, exercise, and manual therapy components. Depending on your condition, this may include joint mobilization, manual therapy, massage, work hardening, pain reduction techniques, acupuncture or dry needling, modalities, shockwave, and general fitness guidance.

Pinpoint Physiotherapy accepts the following types of payment:

• Visa
• MasterCard
• Debit
• Cash
• Cheque (returned cheques subject to NSF charge)
• Direct billing of many Law Offices
• Direct billing of most extended medical plans (including Manulife, Greenshield, Sun Life, Medavie Blue Cross, etc.)

Unfortunately, no. We keep looking, but so far have not found any Federal or Provincial programs we can access that provide private physiotherapy services to First Nations people. It is possible that your individual band might provide you with coverage. For us to check we would need policy information from you. This would be your insurance company (such as Blue Cross) and your policy number and identification number. Please check with your band office for this information if you don’t have it.

Often Indigenous peoples do qualify for a small discount partially funded by MSP. To check on this benefit, the reception staff requires your birthdate and your Personal Health Number (PHN) which is found on your BC Services Card (aka CareCard).
