Effective April 1, 2019, the provincial government has updated the treatment fees that ICBC will cover for care and treatment after a crash. This has been outlined in the Insurance (Vehicle) Act. Fees reflect the fair market rate for a standard industry visit. If your motor vehicle accident was on or after April 1 2019 you will qualify for the new rates.

Below you will find the maximum ICBC will pay during the first 12 weeks of recovery
​and the services we currently can submit for:

ICBC customers who choose to visit a health care practitioner that charges a higher rate than what ICBC funds under accident benefits (indicated above), will not be able to recover the user fees from ICBC for claims with a date of loss on or after April 1, 2019. This will mean that the patient is responsible for paying the user fee portion, which they may submit to their private health insurer for consideration of coverage.

How do you set up coverage?

Book your Initial ICBC Appointment online or over the phone. You will need to provide us with your legal first and last name, your date of birth and your claim number at your first visit. We will do the claim submission and you will need to pay any fees left over (user fees)t. It's that simple!

For those who have been in an accident BEFORE April 1 2019 and are in the first 12 weeks of recovery - we can still direct bill ICBC but your fee coverage will be different. Please contact your adjuster to confirm your fee coverage. We will also need the contact information of your ICBC adjuster to confirm your fee coverage.

​If you have any questions please feel free to call or email us. We are here to help.
