PT and Chiropractic Billing Information

[bluebear]

Hi Guys,
forgive my ignorance, but are you are primarily being paid via the government? Or is it via private healthcare?
i.e. how do things work over there?

It really ranges. We have some government funded for clinic for only those under 16 and over 65 who have stayed in a hospital a certain length of time due to the injury. Hospitals tend to be government, insurance funded...I'm learning more about that presently. Some services are out of pocket, I believe.

In ortho clinics, most are not government funded at all in any way. You have out of pocket, full or partial insurance coverage, with MVAs being billed very specifically. And then there's Workmans' Compensation claims, which are again billed very specifically. Approval is required for treatment...

Not sure how the USA differs exactly.

Hi,

I came across your profile while browsing to check on how private PT clinics are set up in Canada. I am new here and would like to have any further information on regulations on setting up a private clinic, if you can provide me with any info or direct me that would be of immense help to me.

Thanks in advance.
