Insurance Coverage and Direct Billing
Chiropractic care, registered massage therapy and acupuncture are included in many extended health plans. Coverage varies depending on the provider, service and individual policy.
Benefit Chiropractic & Wellness offers direct billing to many insurance providers. Please bring your benefit information to your appointment.
Extended Health Benefits
Your plan may cover all or part of the cost of:
- Chiropractic care
- Registered massage therapy
- Acupuncture
- Custom foot orthotics
Annual limits, referral requirements and eligible services vary. We recommend checking your plan before booking, particularly for custom orthotics.
Direct billing does not guarantee that the full appointment fee will be covered. Patients are responsible for any remaining balance.
ICBC
Patients injured in a motor vehicle accident may qualify for pre-approved chiropractic, massage therapy and acupuncture during the first 12 weeks following the crash.
A doctor’s referral or prior approval from ICBC is generally not required during this early recovery period. You will need your ICBC claim number and Personal Health Number.
We can direct bill ICBC for approved treatment.
WorkSafeBC
Chiropractic treatment may be covered when you have an accepted or active WorkSafeBC claim for a workplace injury.
Please provide your WorkSafeBC claim number and injury information when booking. Coverage and treatment authorization depend on the status of your claim.
MSP Supplementary Benefits
Regular MSP does not cover chiropractic, massage therapy or acupuncture for most British Columbia residents.
Partial coverage may be available to patients who qualify for MSP Supplementary Benefits. These benefits provide a limited contribution toward a combined number of eligible visits each calendar year.
Our reception team can help confirm whether your Supplementary Benefits coverage is active.
Other Benefit Programs
Coverage may also be available through:
- Veterans Affairs Canada
- RCMP health benefits
- First Nations Health Authority
- Other employer or government benefit programs
Requirements differ between programs, so please confirm your eligibility before treatment.
Questions About Your Coverage?
Our reception team can assist with direct billing and general coverage questions, but your insurer makes the final decision regarding eligibility and reimbursement.
