Frequently Asked Questions

Does MSP cover my services?

Unfortunately, the provincial healthcare payee known as MSP does not cover our services in full. If you qualify (household income of 30 k or less; on disability) it will cover $23.00 of our fees for only 10 visits. The visits are a combined service of Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Massage and Naturopathic services. In other words, you only get 10 visits per calender year in total to use any of the aftermentioned services. We will bill MSP on your behalf however co-payment is due at the time service is rendered. If you have further questions please call the office at 604-535-7373 or contact us by email click here
