Your Initial ICBC Appointment
Your RMT will need to complete a “Treatment Plan” form set out and required by ICBC. This form will need to be completed and submitted at your first appointment time of billing. To accommodate the extra time it will take to complete the “Treatment Plan”, ICBC covers $120 + tax towards your initial appointment.
Depending on how long your treatment plan takes will determine the amount of time remaining for your hands on treatment. Details are important when completing your treatment plan. Specific details help create outcome markers which can be used in future if an extension and reassessment is needed. Take your time and complete the treatment plan as accurately as possible.
Ensure you pre-book all subsequent follow up visits to ensure you receive your 12 visits covered by ICBC within their 12 week time frame.

- Your RMT will need to complete the ICBC required ‘Treatment Plan’. This may take 20-30 mins depending on severity of your injuries. To accommodate for this extra time it is recommended to book a 60 min visit.
- Upon arrival to the clinic, our friendly front desk staff will greet you and check that we have the required information on your profile. Please be sure to complete the e-mailed intake form prior to your arrival.
- You will then start the intake process with your RMT. Once the interview is completed your RMT will perform a hands on assessment of your injuries and areas of concern. This will be done fully clothed.
- Once the assessment has been completed your RMT will use the remaining time for hands on treatment.
- Initial hands on treatment may only be 15-20mins. It is recommended to pre-book your appointment to ensure you take advantage of the 12 visits pre-approved by ICBC.
- At the end of your appointment, your RMT will provide some recommendations for home care, treatment frequency and potentially referrals to other health practitioners to help address your concerns.
If you need longer-term care
Your recovery may require additional treatment beyond 12 weeks after a crash. If your health care provider has indicated that your treatment plan needs to be extended, they’ll submit an additional treatment plan to your support and recovery specialist that outlines the further treatment planned and its expected benefit to your recovery. You can always discuss your treatment and recovery progress with your support and recovery specialist.
