Managing The Costs of Your Injury Recovery

Managing the Costs of Your Injury Recovery

Costs Covered After Injury

If you have been injured, you may find that there are limitations on the treatments your insurance – MSP, BlueCross, or ICBC – will cover.

In the case of ICBC, this organization is required to:

"pay as benefits all reasonable expenses incurred by the insured as a result of the injury for necessary medical, surgical, dental, hospital, ambulance or professional nursing services, or for necessary physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, occupational therapy or speech therapy or for prosthesis or orthosis"

However, your coverage may be subject to arbitrary limits, including:

  • You may be told that YOU FIRST HAVE TO USE UP YOUR BENEFITS under any extended medical plan coverage you have - this can deprive you of the ability to use your extended medical coverage for other health related needs.
  • Often the adjuster will only approve ONE TYPE OF TREATMENT AT A TIME, and will set limits on the number of treatments you can have - this can deprive you of the ability to take the necessary steps to maximise your recovery.
  • You may be told that you have to pay the difference between the actual cost of treatment and the amount the insurance company will agree to cover.

How We Can Help

You should never be without the treatment you need because someone else has decided what is best for you. You should not be forced to pay for treatment out of your pocket when someone else has caused your suffering. Depending on your circumstances, there are numerous strategies we can employ to help you get the treatment you need without placing your finances at risk.

Coping with Expenses While You Recover

If your recovery is prolonged, if your income is limited, if you do not have extended medical coverage, or if you require more than one type of treatment from more than one type of practitioner, you may find it very difficult to cope with the expenses you may incur and the restrictions on the type of care you are allowed to receive. Depending on your unique situation, we may have financial options to help you get the care you need, when you need it most.
