FAQ: Marpole Physiotherapy

Do you direct bill for extended health benefits?

Yes, please click here to see the list of extended health providers we direct bill to. Please bring all the details of your extended health plan to your initial appointment.

Do I need a referral from my doctor?

No referral is necessary for a physiotherapy treatment, unless you are being treated for a WCB or ICBC claim. However, patients are advised to check the details of their extended health benefits as some plans may require a physician’s referral in order to get treatment costs reimbursed.

How long will my appointment take?

Please arrive 10 minutes early for your initial appointment to complete necessary paperwork. All our treatments are 30-minutes or 1 hour. All appointments are one-on-one hands on time with your physiotherapist. The number of sessions you’ll need depends on your condition. During the initial visit your therapist will assess you, determine your treatment plan and discuss this with you after the assessment.
