Do I need a doctor’s note to see a physiotherapist in Alberta?
No doctor’s note is required. However, some extended benefit plans request one in order to be reimbursed. Check with your extended benefit plan to be sure.
Is physiotherapy covered by Alberta Health Services (Alberta Health Care)?
Sexsmith Physiotherapy has a contract with Alberta Health Services. If your treatment is required due to a surgery or fracture within the last 12 weeks, Alberta Health will likely fund several treatments. If your condition is due to anything else, please call the AHS Rehab Advice Line at 1-833-379-0563. They will help you determine whether or not you qualify for funded visits.
Injuries sustained in motor vehicle collisions may be covered by your vehicle insurance.
Many employers provide their employees with extended health benefits. Each employee benefit plan is different so check with your insurer to determine what coverage is available to you. We are able to directly bill a number of insurance companies.
