Each of these is a page of its own, with its own list and its own prices. The chips at the top of this page filter these same results without leaving.
Ailio holds 331 practitioners across 685 clinics in Victoria, which is what makes comparing them worth doing at all. Half of the listed prices sit between $110 and $174.67, though the lengths behind them are not all the same treatment. 3 clinics here cannot currently be checked for availability, so anything this page says about openings is about the rest.
Two of the numbers on this page are rarely the same purchase: an initial assessment, which is longer and usually the most expensive row a physiotherapy clinic publishes, and a follow-up treatment, which is what most of a course of care actually costs. Clinics also sell that follow-up in different lengths — thirty minutes at one, forty-five at the next — so the length beside each price is what makes two of them comparable.
The median listed price is $135, taken from 1,021 priced services at 95 clinics in Victoria. Half of them fall between $110 and $174.67. 1,710 services here publish no price at all and are not in that figure. These are the clinics’ own published rates — Ailio adds no booking fee and never marks a price up.
Physiotherapy is not generally covered by MSP. MSP’s supplementary benefits pay a set amount per visit toward a limited number of visits a year for patients receiving premium assistance; hospital-based and some publicly funded outpatient programs are separate from private clinics entirely. Otherwise it is paid by the patient and claimed on an extended-health plan, or billed to ICBC or WorkSafeBC where a claim has been approved.
No. Physiotherapists in British Columbia are direct-access practitioners and you can book without a doctor’s referral. Your own extended-health plan may still require one before it reimburses, and ICBC and WorkSafeBC treatment depends on an open claim — ask your insurer before your first visit rather than after it.
Right now, yes: 185 openings are still free today at 37 clinics, out of the 109 clinics we can currently check. We could not check 3 other clinics in Victoria, so there may be more. Openings are read from each clinic’s own calendar and kept regularly up to date, rather than checked live, so confirm with the clinic before you travel.
53 clinics of the 111 clinics whose billing page we have read in Victoria state they submit a claim for you. Public funders named most often: ICBC (31), WorkSafeBC (4), Veterans Affairs (3), MSP (premium assistance) (3) — those pay the clinic instead of you. Patient plans named most often: Extended health plans (31), Pacific Blue Cross (3), Sun Life (4), Canada Life (3) — claiming on one of those spends your own annual maximum. We have not read the billing page of 1 other clinic in Victoria; that is a gap in our records, not a clinic that declines to direct-bill. These are the clinics’ own words, repeated — confirm with them before you book, because whether a particular claim goes through is between the clinic and the payer.
Openings are read from each clinic’s own booking system and kept regularly up to date; prices are what clinics publish. No clinic pays for position here and Ailio takes no commission. Own a clinic here? Correct your listing →
