What should you do First? First you need to contact your insurance company and file a claim. You will then need to fill in the AB1 accident form. For your convenience we have one you can download here. You have 10 days from the accident to report it to your insurance company. After that book an appointment with our Chiropractor or Physiotherapist and they will assess your injuries and send their treatment recommendation (AB2) back to your insurance company. They will work with you to determine the best treatment plan to meet your goals.
** YOU ARE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE TREATMENT FOR YOUR INJURIES AT THE CLINIC OF YOUR CHOICE **
Can treatment be directly billed to my insurance company?
Yes, please bring the following information with you to your first assessment visit:
- Name of the insurance company
- Name and contact information of your adjuster (phone, email, and/or fax)
- Claim number
- Date of accident
(*Note – if the accident happened while at work, then the Workers Compensation Board (WCB) may be responsible for coverage of any treatments received.)
What’s Next?
Your insurance adjuster will approve the treatment plan, and we can begin treatment.
Treatment at that time can and may include Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Massage therapy and Acupuncture. You and the practitioner assessing you can discuss your options and what you feel works best for you at the time of your initial visit.
Classification of Injuries
Sprains and Strains – these are soft tissue injuries to tendons, ligaments and muscles.
WAD (Whiplash Associated Disorders). You will often hear that term when your practitioner diagnosis’ your injury. There are 3 different levels of severity WAD1 or WAD2 or WAD3. Each comes with a different treatment plan with different length of duration.
Based on the severity of your injury you could be granted up to 10 (WAD1) or 21 (WAD2) treatments. These treatments MUST be completed within 90 days following the date of your accident. In some cases treatment may be extended with the recommendation from your practitioner and approval from your adjuster.
