Third Party Insurance (CTP Insurance)

- Notified the insurance company of your intent to receive treatment for the sustained injury.
- Consulted with your GP and received a medical certificate.
- Received a claim number from the insurance company. The insurance company is hence billed directly and you will not need to pay any gap.
As experts in neck and back pain, we know the serious benefits of early treatment by a physiotherapist. An initial assessment should take place within the first 3 days after a motor vehicle accident, even if the pain is quite mild. This helps prevent serious complications after the accident. We encourage that you seek help before the above process has been completed, to begin the healing process. Just pay up front our regular costs and you will be reimbursed by the insurance company at a later date once you have a claim number.
