DID YOU KNOW? ATHLETIC THERAPY IS COVERED BY YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE

Written by: Melanie Talastas-Soriano CAT(C) 

Why do you need an AT?

Athletic Therapist specialized in musculoskeletal injuries such as joint pain, muscle strain, ligament sprain to lower back, mid-back, neck and all the joints of your limbs (wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee joint, ankle and toes).

• Athletic Therapists can assess your injury.
• Can determine the cause of the injury.
• Can determine the stage of rehab you are in.
• Can prescribe the correct home remedies
• Correct exercises specifically for you and your injury.
• Create a plan for recovery.

Often, patients tell us during their assessment that they have googled their symptoms and have self-diagnosed based on the internet information. After a few exercises with no success, that is when they decide to see us. At this point, take this as a sign for you to consult your doctor and book an Athletic Therapy assessment.

​Athletic Therapy is recognized by private insurance companies like Canada Life, Manitoba Blue Cross, GSC, Maximum, Desjardins to name a few. 

Prior to booking your appointment, there is specific information you need to find out.

Here are the questions you need to have answered prior to booking your appointment with our clinic to avoid unnecessary cost.

• Does your insurance cover Athletic Therapy?
• How much are you covered per year?
• How much percentage per treatment?
• Do you require a doctor’s prescription?
• Is your coverage combined with other health care benefits?
• Is it linked to another insurance (i.e. your partner's insurance)?

This information can be found in your insurance online portal or by contacting your insurance provider. By doing this, it will eliminate complications with payments to the service provider.
