Chiropractic in Manitoba
- Fees
The Manitoba Health Services Commission (medicare)
allows each citizen of Manitoba partial coverage
of 12 visits per calendar year. Patients are
required to pay a non-insured fee
per office visit which varies from office to
office. If a patient should exceed the maximum
number of visits per year then they would be
required to pay the full fee with the following
exceptions:
- WCB and MPIC
- If you are being treated for a work-related,
compensable injury or injuries sustained
in a motor vehicle accident, the visits
are paid for in full by the Workers
Compensation Board or the Manitoba Public
Insurance Corporation. In these cases there is no
private fee.
-
- Social Assistance
- There is some coverage available for
those on social assistance.
-
- Veterans
-
- Private insurance
- Many companies now offer coverage for
chiropractic care. The Elmwood Chiropractic Centre will bill insurance companies directly if your policy has that option. This will reduce your out-of-pocket expense.
Chiropractors may charge extra for modalities,
such as therapeutic ultrasound, low voltage
muscle stimulation, interferential current, etc.
