FAQ
Does ICBC cover additional treatment sessions once I have completed the given amount?
This is at the discretion of ICBC.
They must approve any additional sessions
or extend the given treatment end date
if this goes beyond the standard three months.
A doctor’s referral is usually required, which recommends extending the treatments with reassessment reports.
We will support our patients in the communication process for additional treatment approval to aid
in full recovery. It is important to note that any treatments not approved by ICBC will not be covered, and the patient will be responsible for the costs.

[ The Necessary Steps to Recovery from an Auto Accident ]
Step 1: Call ICBC and file a claim
Contact ICBC to report your claim by phone at 604-520-8222
or use their easy-to-process online claim form.
An important point to note is that regardless of who is at fault
in an auto accident, all individuals involved can file a claim
with ICBC for treatment benefits.
You should then receive an insurance claim number which allows you
to begin receiving treatment from our acupuncturists once assessed.
Step 2: Contact us and get assessed by our acupuncturists.
Contact us to book your assessment once you receive your claim number.
Call us at 250-392-0153 or email us at restoration0153@gmail.com
to set up your consultation.
Our acupuncturists will guide you through the process of your proposed treatments and the steps involved to get you on the road to recovery.
If you haven’t already consulted with your medical doctor, we will recommend this is also done when our treatment plan begins.
It is essential to be fully aware of all of your injuries suffered
in the auto accident before treatment.
Treatment must begin within 12 weeks of the accident date
otherwise, you will need to contact an ICBC claims adjuster.
Step 3: Begin your rehabilitation
Once ICBC approves your claim, your recovery treatment bills
are covered for the first 12 weeks of treatment.
If the nature or severity of your auto accident requires
your treatment plan to go beyond the initial 12 weeks,
our support staff will contact your ICBC claims adjuster to seek approval for continued treatment.
