In Ontario, you do not need a referral from a physician to see a physiotherapist. You can book an appointment directly with a physiotherapist for an assessment and treatment. However, some insurance plans may require a physician's referral for reimbursement purposes. It's a good idea to check with your insurance provider to understand their specific requirements.

Yes, you generally have the flexibility to choose a physiotherapist within your area who accepts referrals. Your referring healthcare provider may recommend someone specific, but the choice ultimately rests with you.
In most cases, OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan) does not cover physiotherapy services. However, certain populations, such as seniors, children, and those receiving benefits through Ontario Works or the Ontario Disability Support Program, may be eligible for coverage through specific programs.
If you have questions or concerns about your referral or treatment plan, you should contact your referring healthcare provider or the physiotherapist directly. They can provide clarification and address any issues you may have.
