ASK FOR OT:

Inclusion of Occupational Therapy in Insurance Coverage

#AskforOT

Occupational therapy (OT) helps people stay engaged in the activities that matter most — whether at home, at work, or in the community. But many health benefit plans don’t include OT services or provide too little coverage, leaving Canadians without access to the care they need.

If you or someone you care about could benefit from OT, check your health plan—and take action to help make OT coverage the norm.

Here’s How You Can Help:

Try our letter template.

Ask your employer or insurance provider to include occupational therapy as a stand-alone paramedical or mental health benefit.

Check out our key facts sheet.

If your plan already includes OT, advocate for a higher annual coverage limit.
