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.

Outside of exceptional situations, we require 12+ hours notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. We will charge you 50% of the appointment cost if you simply don’t show up for a scheduled session, so call 250.591.3730 in advance if you can’t make it.

Our clinic is located in downtown Nanaimo, at 161 Selby Street. You can find a map (and clinic hours) on our contact page.

Yes. Physiotherapy in British Columbia is primarily a privately paid service, and the most common source of payment is through any extended benefits you might have through your work. If you do not have extended benefits you pay for the services directly out of pocket.

There is funding for specific groups like RCMP members, Veterans, and those injured in car or workplace accidents. Some individuals qualify for a reduced rate, partially funded by the government, but you will need to provide your birthdate and BC Services Card (CareCard) number for us to check on this.

Clients seeking physiotherapy services after a motor vehicle accident do not pay any assessment fees if the treatment is ICBC-approved. However, the patient will pay $10 for subsequent sessions.

• you will require a claim number and approval from ICBC
• clients without a claim number will be charged our normal rate
• remember to bring your Care Card to your appointment
