Understanding ICBC Insurance for Chiropractic Care

Getting into a car accident can be both traumatizing and confusing. Amidst the chaos, understanding how your ICBC insurance can assist you and cover your chiropractic treatments is crucial. This guide simplifies the entire process for you.

The Claim Process after a Car Accident

Post-accident, making a claim with ICBC insurance starts by submitting your claim. Once submitted, you’ll receive an ICBC claim number, you may start any pre-approved treatments regardless of who was at fault for the accident.

Pre-Approved Coverage Duration

ICBC’s Enhanced Care covers everyone for the first 12 weeks after a crash. This ensures you can instantly start your required treatments without worrying about prior approval or waiting for paperwork.

Direct Billing and Pre-Approved Treatments

Recovering from a car accident often involves various health care treatments. ICBC insurance covers several pre-approved treatments, including chiropractic sessions. With your ICBC claim number, you can access 25 chiropractic treatments within the first 12 weeks, bypassing the need for referrals or additional approvals from ICBC.

Beyond the 12 Week Coverage

In case your injuries require a longer healing period, ICBC insurance also offers the possibility of a benefit extension. For this, you may need a physician’s referral for professional chiropractic treatment, which, upon approval from your claims adjuster, will allow you to continue your treatment.

Importance of Chiropractic Care

Post-accident chiropractic treatments with ICBC insurance can significantly improve your physical health. These treatments foster spinal health, alleviate pain, enhance nervous system function, and increase energy levels.
