Insurance companies are increasingly covering Telehealth Sessions, especially given the rapid change in healthcare needs recently. We recommend always checking with your specific insurance provider to see if they cover telehealth sessions with your specific group plan.
As of March 23, 2020, we have heard from the Canadian Physiotherapy Association that the following companies have extended coverage to include virtual services:
- Sunlife Insurance

- Green Shield
- Blue Cross
- Manulife
- Great West Life
Again, this list is not exhaustive and may be subject to change. We recommended that you do check with your specific insurer to verify if your specific plan will cover online services.
