• Seniors 65 and over
• Aged 19 and under
• Residents of long-term care homes at any age
• Needing physiotherapy services in their home or after being hospitalized at any age
• Ontario Disability Support Program, Family Benefits and Ontario Works recipients of any age

Changes don't affect physiotherapy services currently provided by:

• Hospitals
• Community Care Access Centres
• Workplace Safety and Insurance Board

The government will also expand services beginning in April so that more long-term care homes across Ontario are able to offer physiotherapy to residents. The government will also increase physiotherapy services in rural and northern communities.

Ontarians aged 20 to 64 will continue to have access to coverage if they require physiotherapy after overnight hospitalization, if they require services in their home or if they reside in a long-term care home. All Ontario Disability Support Program, Family Benefits and Ontario Works recipients will be covered regardless of age.

All other people aged 20 to 64 will no longer receive coverage for physiotherapy.

Ontarians with private insurance should check to see if their plan has coverage for physiotherapy.
