VIDEO: Manual Osteopathy Fee Guideline 2013

The College of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners of Ontario has released this video that covers the fee guidelines associated with the manual osteopathy profession in Ontario.

This is a great step towards standardization of the profession of osteopathic manual practice. This is the first fee guideline ever published in Canada for manual osteopaths.

Insurance Billing

COMPO members please note; you may not bill extended health plan insurers for osteopathic examinations and treatments provided in the same day. While you are permitted to examine and treat your patient on the same date, you may bill only one service per day.

Dual Degree Registrants Can Bill Insurers Only Once Per Day

Dual degree members please note;

you may not bill extended health plan insurers twice per day. For example; if you are a registered massage therapist; as well as an osteopathic manual practitioner; you may bill EHP insurer only for massage or osteopathic manual practice for services provided on a specific day, not both of them together in the same day.  You are entitled to provide both services on the same date if you feel they are necessary; however you may not bill for both, just one of them.
