Are physiotherapy sessions covered 🔹 Does student insurance pay for physio or rehab 🔹 Can I get help with injury recovery through my health plan 🔹 Is physical therapy included in my student medical benefits

Yes — physiotherapy is covered under both domestic and international student health plans. Here’s what you need to know:

  • 💰 Coverage is typically capped at $500 per academic year

  • 🧾 Some plans may include co-pay requirements (you pay part of the cost)

  • 🧑‍⚕️ Your physiotherapist must be registered with their provincial association

  • 💳 Ask if they offer direct billing to StudentVIP or Medavie Blue Cross — this means you won’t have to pay upfront

You can also visit the Acadia Sports Therapy Clinic, located at the Athletics Complex, which offers discounted rates for students and is a VIP Preferred Provider under the ASU plan.

📘 Helpful Definitions:

  • Physiotherapy: Treatment to help restore movement and function after injury or illness

  • Direct billing: When the clinic bills your insurance directly, so you don’t pay upfront

  • Co-pay: A small portion of the cost you may need to pay out-of-pocket

📝 Special Notes:

  • You must be enrolled in the student health plan to access coverage

  • Keep your receipt if you pay upfront — you’ll need it to submit a claim

  • For help with claims or coverage questions visit the ASU Supports Office in the Student Union Building
