Can Kin Services be reimbursed by Insurance?

Kinesiologists provide wellness, rehabilitation, and disease and injury prevention, all in one professional. As part of extended health benefits, kinesiology services can reduce disability claims, getting workers back on the job faster and preventing expensive long-term disability claims. With the critical role that exercise and physical activity play in the prevention and management of chronic disease and injury, Kinesiologists are becoming key members of health care teams.

A growing body of evidence points to the direct link between physical health and workplace performance. Kinesiologists have the skills to treat many of the most common conditions workers face – keeping your work team happier, healthier, and more productive. Healthier employees come to work more often, take fewer sick days, work more effectively, and file fewer WSIB claims. Promoting good physical health through preventative exercise keeps your team working hard day in and day out. 

Insurance companies have begun recognizing the status of Kinesiologists. In some provinces, the following companies offer policies covering kinesiology expenses (to date):

Ask your insurance company if kinesiology fees are refunded. If they are not, request documentation and use our template letters (letter for client, letter for employer) to ask your employer and/or insurance company to include kinesiology services in your extended benefits package.
