Insurance Info
Be sure to check if your extended health plan will cover your visits. Anyone with an ICBC claim can request treatment from an osteopathic practitioner and the adjustor will decide if it is approved on a case by case basis. It is helpful to explain why you feel this type of treatment is necessary for you and a doctor’s note with a recommendation for osteopathy helps immensely.
MSP does not cover manual osteopathy, but most major providers of extended health insurance have established a relationship with Osteopathy BC and accept their members as qualified providers. You must consult your specific plan for details.
