Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA's)

Deborah has extensive experience treating MVA patients and would love to continue being a part of this healing process. But there are a few challenges.

Motor Vehicle Insurance companies in Ontario currently dictate that RMT's treat MVA patients for a full hour but will only pay the RMT less than a 30 minute treatment rate.  

In spite of RMT's being fully qualified to create and write MVA treatment plans and being regulated under the same RHPA as other health professionals, RMT's in Ontario are required to have someone else (MD, Chiropractor, Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist, Speech Pathologist, etc) sign and supervise said treatment plans.  

Registered Massage Therapy can be an integral part of a successful healing process but both of the above represent barriers to treatment.  In the North Bay Area, for instance, most RMT's are in private practice without direct access to the aforementioned medical professionals.

Deborah can certainly still treat you through any MVA injuries.  At present however, payment of our full rate would need to be made directly to Deborah and your receipt submitted to your Extended Health Benefit provider for reimbursement.
