How it Works

Geting care after a car accident should be simple.  We're here to help!

1

Notify Your Auto Insurance Provider

​Inform your insurer about the accident promptly. Obtain your accident claim number and the name of your claims adjuster, as this information is essential for processing your care.

2

Seek Treatment From Us

You can begin treatment immediately without a doctor's referral. Inform us of:​

  • Your accident claim number​

  • The name of your claims adjuster​

  • If you've already seen another provider

We will handle the necessary paperwork and bill your insurance company directly.

3

Feel Better, Faster

Chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, and acupuncture are all services you are entitled to receive. ​

Our treatments can help resolve the injuries now, ensuring that these injuries don’t lead to permanent damage that can cause bigger problems later in life.

Key Points to Remember

  • No Referral Needed: You are not required to have a doctor's referral to receive chiropractic treatment following an MVA.​

  • Direct Billing: Chiropractic treatments related to the accident are billed directly to your insurance company, streamlining the process for you.​

  • Freedom to Choose Your Provider: Under Alberta's Auto Insurance Regulations, you have the right to select your treatment provider. While your insurance company may suggest preferred providers, the choice is ultimately yours.​

    If you feel pressured by your claims adjuster to choose a specific provider or clinic, you can:

    • Request to speak with the claims manager or insurance ombudsman.​

    • Contact the Office of the Alberta Superintendent of Insurance at 780.643.2237 (toll-free: dial 310.0000 before the number) or via email at tbf.insurance@gov.ab.ca.​
