BILLING
Coverage Options
Workers Compensation Board (WCB)
If you have been injured at work, take steps to make a claim in a timely manner.
Advise your employer and ensure that a claim is filed with the Worker’s Compensation Board (WCB). Both you and your employer will have to fill out information for WCB.
- You must see a family physician who will also file your WCB paperwork after completing a medical exam.
- You may see a physiotherapist before you see your physician.
- Your first assessment and treatment by Adam Physio are covered by WCB. We will need authorization from WCB for further treatments.
Note: You can help speed up the process by reporting your injury and completing all paperwork immediately. We are happy to help guide you.
Extended Health Benefits
Adam physio has prearranged direct billing for several benefit plans including:
- Alberta Blue Cross
- Chambers of Commerce Group Insurance
- PlanCowan
- Desjardins Insurance
- The Great West Life Assurance Company
- Industrial Alliance Financial Group
- Johnson
- Johnston Group
- Manulife
- Maximum Benefit
- Standard Life
- Sun Life Financial
If you are covered under one of the above companies, you will not have to pay up front for your treatments. Our office will set up the billing process for you.
If you have a benefit plan not listed above yet, you are eligible to submit your invoice to them for reimbursement - if you have physiotherapy coverage.
We will determine how much your plan covers for your treatments, and you will be responsible to pay any costs not covered by your insurance plan.
Note: If you are covered by a company that does not allow direct billing, you will be responsible to pay for your treatments in full, and then submit your receipts yourself for reimbursement.
Motor Vehicle Collision Insurance (MVA)
Have you been injured in a motor vehicle collision? If so, there are a few steps to follow:
- Report the accident to your insurance.
- See your family physician. They can rule out severe injuries and prescribe appropriate medications.
- Arrange with us a physiotherapy assessment – ensure it is within 10 days of your accident.
- You will be required to fill out an AB-1 and AB-2 form to the Insurance company. These are available from the Adam Physio Team. Your insurance will authorize a certain number of physical therapy and massage therapy treatments based on the injuries that you sustained. Your physical therapist will assist you in the authorization process.
- Find out if you have any extended health care benefits which may also need to be used, depending on the injuries sustained. However, most treatments will be direct billed.
