Answers at Your Fingertips

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about our services, appointments, or coverage? Find quick answers to common inquiries here. Need more help? Our team is always happy to assist.

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 receipt to recoup 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 submit a contact form.

We currently accept third-party direct billing for Medavie Blue Cross (RCMP and Veterans Affairs), Pacific Blue Cross, Manulife, and Canada Life. Coverage depends on your plan’s limits and details—additional payment may be required if there’s a co-payment or deductible.

We also submit claims through TELUS Health eClaims, which connects us to many major insurance providers for faster, easier direct billing.

Yes, we do. The B.C. government and ICBC introduced Enhanced Care coverage in 2021. This means British Columbians injured in a crash are eligible for enhanced recovery benefits, regardless of who was at fault.

While we no longer direct bill ICBC, patients pay our fees upfront and submit receipts to their ICBC adjuster for reimbursement. ICBC typically covers up to 3 months of care or 24 visits after an accident. This can include chiropractic, massage therapy, acupuncture, and kinesiology.

To qualify, please provide your ICBC claim number, Driver’s License number, and Personal Health Number (PHN). Let us know you have an active claim when booking so we can support your recovery process.

On your FIRST VISIT, we will evaluate your Structural and Neurological Fingerprints, with the use of both our state of the art technology and Chiropractic Neurological Testing, YOUR current level of function and underlying weaknesses will be revealed allowing us to determine the root cause to YOUR current health issues.

You may be gowned for part of this exam. So please where comfort and/or athletic type clothing.
