Do I Need a Doctor’s Referral for Physiotherapy? | #AskRTT 029

Do you want to see a physiotherapist but not sure if you need a doctor’s referral first? The good news is physiotherapists are primary healthcare providers, which means you don’t need a referral to see one. If you have health insurance, keep in mind that some companies require a doctor’s referral for treatment reimbursement. Contact your health insurance company to find out your policy details.

#AskRTT is a weekly segment where your questions get answered by our award-winning team of healthcare professionals. Questions can be about practically anything: chiropractic care, massage therapy, physiotherapy, acupuncture, general health, exercise tips, and the list goes on.
