OHIP Covered Physiotherapy Program

Review the Ontario government publicly-funded eligibility guidelines to see if your physical therapy can be fully covered by OHIP.

Ontario Publicly-Funded Physiotherapy Guidelines

Did you know that the Ontario government publicly funds physiotherapy services for eligible residents? At Coxwell Physiotherapy Centre, we are a fully registered healthcare provider offering government-sponsored physiotherapy and rehabilitation services.

To qualify for complete OHIP funding, you must have a valid referral from a licensed Ontario physician or Nurse Practitioner (NP), be an insured resident under the Health Insurance Act (possess a valid health card), and meet one of the specific age or socioeconomic categories outlined below.

Official OHIP Patient Eligibility Categories

You are eligible to receive fully-funded physiotherapy treatments if you meet **any one** of the following provincial criteria:

1. Seniors Aged 65 Years or Older Every senior resident under OHIP with a physician referral qualifies for fully covered physiotherapy to manage mobility and skeletal strains.
2. Youth Aged 19 Years or Younger Children and teenagers qualify for covered treatments to address growth strains, orthopedic abnormalities, or sports injuries.
3. Overnight Hospitalization (Any Age) Patients of any age who require post-operative physical rehabilitation directly following an overnight hospital stay qualify for OHIP funded treatments.
4. Ontario Works & ODSP Recipients (Any Age) Residents currently receiving support from the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) or Ontario Works (OW) qualify for covered physical treatments.

Card Requirements & Billing Policies

Eligible patients **MUST** present their physical, valid Ontario health card (OHIP card) at each and every treatment visit. Please ensure your card has not expired. Any specific clinical wellness treatments rendered that are not covered under the provincial program guidelines will be discussed beforehand and billed directly to the patient.

How to Proceed

Follow these steps to access government-funded clinical treatments:

  1. Visit your family physician or nurse practitioner.
  2. Acquire a written referral sheet stating you require registered physiotherapy treatments.
  3. Contact our Aurora clinic and mention you have a valid OHIP referral.
  4. Bring your referral and your physical OHIP card to your first visit!
