One of the main reasons why people do not seek chiropractic care is cost. There are several programs available that cover partial or all treatment expenses for the patient. If you are eligible for any of these programs, your chiropractor can assist you with obtaining coverage and will answer any questions you may have.

BC Medical Service Plans (MSP)

If you are currently enrolled in the BC MSP Premium Assistance Program, MSP contributes $23 per visit for a combined annual limit of 10 visits each calendar year for the following services: acupuncture, chiropractic, massage therapy, naturopathy, physiotherapy and non-surgical podiatry.

WorkSafeBC

Workers who are injured on the job and who qualify for workers compensation benefits are covered for eight weeks of chiropractic treatment at no cost. Chiropractic treatment may not coincide with other medical treatments (eg. physiotherapy) without prior approval from WorkSafeBC. If you have been hurt on the job, contact your family chiropractor immediately to begin recovery. Please bring your WorkSafe Claim #, as well as your Personal Health Number (PHN) for your first WorkSafe visit.

ICBC

ICBC provides 100% coverage to motorists who are injured as a result of a collision. No referral required and there are no out of pocket expenses for Chiropractic treatments. For the first 12 weeks after your crash, you have 25 pre-approved chiropractic treatments available to help you recover. You don’t need a referral from a family physician or nurse practitioner, or approval from ICBC, but you will need your Personal Health Number (PHN) and your ICBC claim number. Contact your chiropractor as soon as possible if you have been involved in a crash. Get more information on ICBC’s program here.

Patients may also be eligible for up to 12 massage visits under their ICBC claim, but ICBC only covers $94/visit for Registered Massage Therapy. User fees will vary depending on length of visit.
