Direct billing FAQs
Vancouver Physiotherapy & Sports Clinic does not require a doctor’s referral however some plans do require one. Please check with your extended health carrier to learn your plan requirements.
You can learn the details of your coverage by contacting your extended health carrier or from your plan administrator.
We can still bill your carrier! If your visit is partially covered we will bill the covered amount to the carrier and ask that you pay the balance of your visit at the end of each treatment.
At this time Vancouver Physiotherapy & Sports Clinic will bill 1 (one) third party carrier per visit (eg: 1 Extended Health Carrier or ICBC or MSP). Coordination of benefits is not available.
If you have an open insurance claim we cannot bill your visit to your extended health carrier if it is related to the open claim. You will need to pay for the treatment and seek reimbursement from your carrier.
If your visit is denied for online direct billing we ask that your balance is paid in full at the end of each treatment. The front desk staff will advise you if your claim has been denied before you leave. Please note: Some plans have restrictions that do not allow for online direct billing.
