Are Treatment Costs Covered by My Motor Vehicle Insurer?
Treatment for injuries sustained in motor vehicle collisions in Alberta are regulated by the Alberta Regulation Insurance Act and specifically under the Diagnostic and Treatment Protocols Regulation. Under these regulations a claimant must submit their claim within ten days of their collision by submitting an AB-1 form.
Following assessment by a health care practitioner, an AB2 form is submitted to your insurance company by that health care practitioner, outlining the diagnosis and treatment recommendations. These guidelines are necessary to be considered “Under Protocol” and to have your treatment costs covered directly by your auto insurer.
If you don’t submit your AB-1 forms within 10 business days, you may be considered “Outside Protocol” and your auto insurance adjuster will decide whether direct billing will be authorized or if you’ll need to pay for your physiotherapy treatment and submit your receipts for reimbursement. If you are feeling overwhelmed, we’re happy to help you navigate these steps.
