As we approach the end of the year — and the potential stress of the season’s change and final-quarter deadlines come to fruition — it’s beneficial to make full use of your extended health benefits before they reset.
Is Osteopathy Covered by Insurance in Ontario?
This is a common question among those seeking pain and stress relief in Ontario and are considering osteopathy and craniosacral therapy as part of their treatment. While seeing an osteopath is not covered by OHIP, many group health insurance plans offer coverage for osteopathy and craniosacral therapy through their extended benefits program.
Seeing a Manual Osteopathic Practitioner after a car accident (MVA) or workplace injury is also often covered by private insurers.
If you've been considering osteopathic care, or if you're due for a session, now is the perfect time to book an appointment! Here’s why:
Understanding Your Health Benefits
Many residents of Ontario overlook the fact that their private health insurance benefits usually reset at the end of the calendar year. These benefits often cover a range of services — including osteopathy and craniosacral therapy. This means that if you haven’t used up your allocated allowance for osteopathic treatments, they may not roll over into the next year.
Why Choose Osteopathy?
Osteopathy and craniosacral therapy are holistic approaches to healthcare that aim to improve overall body function by manipulating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework. They are non-invasive forms of treatment that can assist with a wide array of issues such as back pain, joint pain, headaches, tension, migraines, stress, sleep disruptions, and more. By utilizing your insurance benefits for osteopathic sessions before the year ends, you're investing in your health and well-being without additional financial strain.
Avoid Losing Unclaimed Benefits
Unclaimed benefits represent untapped resources that are essentially lost when they reset at the end of the year. And since osteopathy is covered by many insurance providers in Ontario, by scheduling an appointment now, you can utilize your insurance coverage to address any existing musculoskeletal concerns or simply maintain your body's balance and flexibility.
Plan for Long-Term Health
Investing in your health shouldn’t be restricted to specific times of the year. However, with the impending end of this year’s extended benefits, now is an opportune moment to kickstart or continue your health journey. Osteopathic care can contribute significantly to your overall well-being, and regular sessions often lead to more sustained health benefits.
