Frequently Asked Questions

Most extended health companies do cover manual osteopathy! Take a look at your coverage and if you see "osteopathy" there should be no problem with coverage. Right now the only company that does not cover Registered Manual Osteopathic Practitioners is Canada Life & RWAM. We are working hard on getting coverage with these two companies and will hopefully have answers soon.

Yes depending on your insurer. Most companies still require you to send your own receipts in. Here is a list of companies we have had success direct billing with:

• Chambers of Commerce
• Manulife
• Desjardens
• Greensheild 
• Maximum Benefit
• Equitable Life
• Possibly more! I will always try to direct bill first, more and more insurance companies let us direct bill everyday. 

Just because we cannot direct bill doesn't mean it is not covered! See the next question for a list of insurance companies that cover Registered Manual Osteopathic Practitioners.  

• chambers of commerce
• manulife
• sunlife
• desjardins
• nextgen
• benecaid
• manion
• cooperators
• cinup
• empire life
• johnston group
• claimsecure
• greenshield
• maximum benefits
• blue cross* this is a very tier specific company, and you will have to request a osteopathic coverage form to fill out and mail in with your receipt (it is unfortunately a wild process for coverage).
• medavie
• Canadian Armed Forces

Please note! Miranda cannot see your coverage details, or let you know how much is available.

This list is subject to change, and depends on your personal coverage. Some tiers may not cover osteopathy. You must send your own receipts in for reimbursement, unless we can direct bill.

Loose, comfortable clothing you can move around in. It is similar to a physio treatment and you will stay fully clothed. If you have shorts, or a sports bra it is always good to bring to change into just in case! If you wear jeans or tight clothing and have lower limb injuries, we may ask you to put on shorts or we will use linens like in massage.
