We Value Your Concerns

Answering your questions rapidly will enable you to overcome any obstacles that may be hindering your ability to alleviate your neck/low back pain.

  • Does MSP cover my services?
    Unfortunately, the provincial healthcare payee known as MSP does not cover our services in full. If you qualify (household income of 30 k or less; on disability) it will cover $23.00 of our fees for only 10 visits. The visits are a combined service of Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Massage and Naturopathic services. In other words, you only get 10 visits per calender year in total to use any of the aftermentioned services. We will give you a reciept to recoop your cost from MSP but full payment is due at the time of service You can find the form for MSP reimbursement here: Reimbursement Request (gov.bc.ca) If you have further questions please call the office at 604-535-7373 or contact us by email click here
  • Does our clinic bill directly to third party insurance?
    We currently accept third party direct billing for Blue Cross Medavie (RCMP and DVA) , Pacific Blue Cross, Manual Life and Canada Life.

  • Do We Accept ICBC Case?
    Yes we do. The B.C. government and ICBC have announced changes to auto insurance in 2021. Under Enhanced Care coverage, British Columbians injured in a crash will have significantly enhanced recovery benefits whether or not the injured person was responsible for the crash. What this means to YOU is for Chiropractic care your Initial exam and either 24 or up to 12 weeks of care is covered with no "Out of Pocket" expenses to you. You can now focus on healing rather than stressing about finances. To qualify you will need to have an ICBC Claim Number, Drivers License Number and PHN (provincial healthcare number - usually on the back of your D.L.). When calling to book your Initial appointment please let the front desk know that you have an active ICBC claim so we can forward the appropriate paper work.

Others points you should be aware of: ICBC customers who choose to visit a health care provider that charges a higher rate than what ICBC funds will not be able to recover the user fees from ICBC for claims with an accident date on or after April 1, 2019. The patient is responsible for paying the user fee portion, which they may submit to their private health insurer for consideration of coverage. Treatments are based on sessions provided and fees reflect fair market rate for a standard industry visit. Treatment frequency will be based on clinical recommendations and should reflect best practice. Multiple sessions provided by the same discipline, on the same day, will not be funded. In the case of a no-show, the clinic's no-show and cancellation policies should apply. ICBC will not pay for no-show appointments Ready to book your appointment?
