Home physiotherapy
Home physiotherapy treatment may be provided where an injured worker is unable to safely travel to a physiotherapy clinic or where the WorkSafeBC claim owner approves treatment in an injured worker’s residence due to the nature and severity of the injury. These conditions may include, but are not limited to injured workers with traumatic injuries recently discharged from the hospital.
The goal of home physiotherapy is to improve function to a level that allows the injured worker to safely travel to a physiotherapy clinic.
Home physiotherapy and physiotherapy clinic visits (contracted physiotherapy treatment services) cannot occur concurrently.
Home physiotherapy reports
Please use:
- Home Physiotherapy Report (Form 83D348)
Neurological physiotherapy
Neurological treatment services may be provided when an injured worker presents with:
- Moderate/severe traumatic brain injury (with associated physical dysfunction)
- Cranial nerve disorders
- Cauda equine lesions with neurological sign
- Spinal cord injury or
- Acute traumatic spinal injury (with upper motor neuron lesion signs)
When treatment is provided for both a neurological disorder and a WorkSafeBC accepted orthopedic condition, only the neurological treatment can be invoiced.
