Physiotherapy fees and funding Edmonton
What an appointment costs, which plans we bill directly, and the funding routes that cover treatment after a collision or a work injury.
How Are Physiotherapy Fees and Funding Edmonton Covered?
Most physiotherapy in Alberta is paid through extended health benefits, a motor vehicle claim under Section B, or a WCB claim. Alberta Health Care funds a limited publicly-funded stream through designated providers, which is separate from a private clinic appointment. Vertex bills most extended health plans directly, so you pay only what your plan does not cover.

How Physiotherapy Fees and Funding May Be Paid by Others
Treatment after a car collision or a workplace injury is funded through a claim rather than your benefits plan, and neither uses up your extended health coverage.
Common Questions About Physiotherapy Fees and Funding
Do you bill my insurance directly?
Vertex direct bills most major extended health plans. Bring your plan details to the first appointment so the clinic can confirm before treatment rather than after.
What if I have no coverage?
You can pay for appointments privately. Ask at booking what the fee is for the appointment type you need, so there is no surprise at the desk.
What happens if my benefits run out mid-treatment?
You will be told before it happens, not after. The plan is reviewed against your remaining coverage, and if more visits are needed than the plan covers, the options are discussed openly: spacing visits out, a more home-based program, or private payment.
Is there any flexibility on fees?
Ask the front desk. Fees are published on this page, and the clinic would rather have an honest conversation about cost than have someone stop treatment quietly.
