For many Canadians, health insurance providers cover all cost or a portion of the cost of physiotherapy and massage care. Some extended health insurance plans may require a physician’s referral in order to reimburse you for physiotherapist or massage service, but it’s not always necessary. Call your health insurance provider to confirm your level of coverage beforehand and to determine whether or not you require a physician referral for reimbursement.
