Billing Information

Physiotherapy is a practice performed by licensed primary health care providers.

​

A doctor's referral is not required for participation in physiotherapy.

​

In a private practice clinic setting, physiotherapy is not covered by Manitoba Health (provincial medical coverage) regardless of whether it is prescribed by a physician. However, you may be eligible to have the cost of your treatment covered by some types of insurance. Read more below to learn how your insurance can help cover your treatment.
