Does My Insurance cover Kinesiology?
Many extended health benefit plans offer coverage for kinesiology services, but they may not be automatically included. Here’s what you need to know:
How to Check Your Coverage
Contact your insurance provider and ask if kinesiology services are covered.
If kinesiology is not covered, ask if it can be added to your plan.
Check if you have access to a Health Spending Account (HSA) or Wellness Spending Account (WSA).
If you need help, we can provide template letters to request coverage from your employer or insurance provider.
What If My Plan Doesn’t Cover Kinesiology?
Don’t worry! You still have options:
- Health Spending Account (HSA) or Wellness Spending Account (WSA): Many Ontario residents have these accounts, which can be used to cover regulated healthcare services, including kinesiology.
- Employer Advocacy: Request that your employer or plan sponsor add kinesiology services to your benefits package.
- Out-of-Pocket Option: Investing in your long-term health and mobility can save you from costly medical expenses in the future.
