Once an accident happens you should inform your insurance provider of the accident and injuries that you have sustained. No matter who is at fault for the accident, your insurance provider is responsible for making rehabilitation and health services available to you. If you were a passenger or outside of a vehicle at the time of the accident, your claim will be processed by the driver’s insurance company. Once a claim has been initiated our facility can take care of the rest.
On your initial appointment, the physiotherapist at our Mississauga clinic will do a comprehensive initial assessment. The physiotherapist will discuss and assess the injuries, and discuss a treatment plan. All the necessary information collected is used to submit an insurance claim with either an OCF23 or OCF18 form. While we must work within the insurance guidelines, treatment plans are set up in a way to establish goals for each individual patient. Most insurance claims fall within the minor injury guidelines, some fall into a more severe category called catastrophic. We can design a treatment plan specific to your needs, and at times, complementary health practitioners may be recommended. If you have an extended health insurance plan you are legally required to exhaust and use these benefits first and then the remainder will be covered by your auto insurance carrier.
Follow up visits will be booked to fit your schedule. The objective will be to use the most effective therapies to get you back on track as quickly as possible.
We will work on your behalf to manage reporting and documentation relevant to your claim and to ensure you get the necessary treatment you need.
