MVA Insurance and Funding
Navigating MVA insurance and funding can be complex, but we are here to help. Here’s an overview of how MVA insurance works and what you can expect:
- Insurance Coverage: Most automobile insurance policies in Alberta cover the cost of rehabilitation following a motor vehicle accident under the Diagnostic Treatment Protocols (DPTR). This includes physiotherapy, chiropractic care, massage therapy, and other necessary treatments.
- Accident Benefits: Under Alberta’s auto insurance regulations, accident benefits are available to cover medical and rehabilitation expenses, regardless of who was at fault.
- Initial Treatment Protocols: These protocols provide immediate funding for treatments within the first 90 days post-accident. You can access physiotherapy services directly without a doctor’s referral during this period.
- Extended Treatment Plans (Section B): If you require treatment beyond the initial 90-day period, we will develop a treatment plan and submit it to your insurance provider to ensure continuous care. If you are diagnosed with a fracture, dislocation, WAD III or WAD IV you will bypass protocols and proceed directly to Section B.
- Direct Billing: We offer direct billing to most insurance companies to simplify the payment process and reduce out-of-pocket expenses for our patients.
We will ensure the appropriate paperwork is completed at your initial visit (AB-1 and AB-2 forms), and can submit them to the insurance company on your behalf. Your physiotherapist will complete a thorough initial assessment, accurately determine your diagnosis and complete all the appropriate forms. We will ensure these are submitted in a timely manner to your insurance company so you can prioritize recovery and getting back to normal!
