Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP)

Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) Coverage

We specialize in assisting patients with Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) claims, ensuring access to physiotherapy services while you await eligibility for provincial or territorial health insurance. Our team is committed to delivering high-quality care through a smooth and supportive process.

What is the IFHP?

The Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) provides temporary health care coverage to specific groups of individuals who are not yet eligible for provincial or territorial insurance. This includes:

Protected persons, including resettled refugees
Refugee claimants
Other eligible individuals as defined by the program

The IFHP does not deliver services directly. Instead, care is provided by registered healthcare professionals. Claims are administered by Medavie Blue Cross, which covers approved services from IFHP-registered providers, including physiotherapists, physicians, hospitals, pharmacies, and dental professionals, for eligible patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear to my appointment?

We recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing that allows the physiotherapist to easily assess and treat the affected area. For example, shorts for knee injuries or a tank top for shoulder pain.

Is a doctor's referral required?

No, you do not need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist. However, some extended health insurance plans may require one in order to reimburse you for the cost of treatment.

How long is each session?

Initial assessments typically take 45-60 minutes to thoroughly evaluate your condition. Follow-up treatment sessions are usually 30-45 minutes, depending on your personalized care plan.
