How a Veterans Affairs authorization gets you treated in Victoria

  1. Get your authorization

    VAC or Medavie Blue Cross issues it against your accepted condition. It names the therapy and the number of visits.

  2. Find a clinic that direct-bills Blue Cross

    The listings here said they are set up for it, so you do not pay and claim back.

  3. Treatment is invoiced for you

    You show the card, they invoice. Renewals go through your case manager.

Claim context

Veterans Affairs physiotherapy: what it costs you

Veterans Affairs coverage is generous but gated: it pays for an accepted condition, and pays nothing without an authorization naming that therapy. The friction is finding a clinic that will direct-bill Medavie Blue Cross instead of asking you to pay and claim back.

There are fewer of those clinics than there are clinics overall, which is the whole reason this page exists as its own list rather than as a filter chip buried in search.
