Yes. At our North York location, we help patients access physiotherapy through a variety of funding options, including:

• Government-funded Episodes of Care (EOC) for eligible patients
• WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) claims
• Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) insurance
• Private extended health insurance plans
• Employer or industrial contracts

An Episode of Care (EOC) is a government-funded physiotherapy program provided through designated Community Physiotherapy Clinics. ACHIEVA HEALTH - North York operates as a designated Community Physiotherapy Clinic.

Patients who meet the eligibility criteria may access an Episode of Care without a physician referral. Care begins with a comprehensive physiotherapy assessment and continues through treatment until physiotherapy goals are achieved and the patient is discharged.

You may be eligible for publicly funded physiotherapy services if you are referred by a physician or nurse practitioner, insured under OHIP, and meet one of the following criteria:

• Aged 65 years or older
• Aged 19 years or younger
• Recently discharged from hospital following outpatient or day surgery
• Eligible under the Ontario Disability Support Program or Ontario Works

Your physiotherapy journey at ACHIEVA HEALTH - North York begins with a comprehensive assessment. Based on this assessment, your physiotherapist will develop a personalized treatment plan with clear short- and long-term goals.

Treatment may include hands-on therapy, therapeutic exercise, functional training, education, and other evidence-based techniques to reduce pain, restore movement, and prevent future injury.

For your first visit to our North York clinic, please:

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows access to the affected area
• Arrive early to complete intake paperwork
• Bring any relevant medical reports, imaging, or test results

A doctor's referral is not required to begin physiotherapy. Government-funded Episodes of Care do not require a physician referral if eligibility criteria are met. However, some private insurance plans may require a referral from a physician or nurse practitioner for reimbursement. Our team can help clarify what is needed for your situation.

The number of physiotherapy visits depends on your condition, goals, and response to treatment. Your physiotherapist will work with you to determine an appropriate plan.

For government-funded Episodes of Care, there is no predetermined number of visits. Treatment frequency and duration are based on clinical judgment, individual needs, and available funding.
