Do I need a referral to see an occupational therapist in Vancouver?

No. You can book privately without a physician referral. Some extended health plans ask for one before they will reimburse, so it is worth checking your specific policy first.

Can an occupational therapist come to my home or office in Vancouver?

Yes. Mobile visits are our most requested option and are available across Vancouver, including downtown condos, workplaces, and care facilities. Home and worksite visits are often more useful than a clinic appointment because the therapist can assess and adjust the actual environment.

Does ICBC cover occupational therapy after a car accident?

ICBC can fund occupational therapy as part of your recovery, but it works differently from other treatments. Physiotherapy, kinesiology, massage therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture and counselling are pre-approved for the first 12 weeks and need only your claim number. Occupational therapy is arranged by speaking with your ICBC recovery specialist, usually once a health care provider has recommended it. Swift Health direct bills ICBC.

What does an occupational therapist actually do?

An occupational therapist assesses how an injury, illness, disability, or developmental difference affects the everyday activities you need and want to do, then builds a practical plan to restore independence. That can mean retraining a task, changing how it is done, recommending equipment, or modifying the environment around you.
