ICBC Injury Claims
DesLauriers Chiropractic Group Inc. offers direct billing for ICBC injury claims.
Motor Vehicle Accidents are stressful events that can cause a lot of pain, discomfort, and re-aggravate previous injuries. We want to make sure you get back to your regular routines again and make it easier for you post-accident.
When you call to book your appointment, be sure to inform our office that it is related to a motor vehicle accident. You will be asked to provide us with your ICBC claim number and the accident date so we can verify your coverage prior to your appointment.
Your initial visit will be scheduled for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. Patient forms will be emailed to you in advance so you can complete them prior to your appointment. During your initial visit, your Chiropractor will assess your current condition, review the details of your Motor Vehicle Accident, take x-rays (if needed), and provide a treatment. Your Chiropractor will also provide you with a recommended treatment plan.
Once you have reached 12 weeks or maxed out your approved treatments, your Chiropractor can submit an extension request for further approval treatments.
If your accident was more than 12 weeks prior, ICBC may require our office to submit a report detailing your injuries prior to approving coverage. We will contact ICBC on your behalf prior to your appointment to confirm coverage.

Additional Information Regarding ICBC’s New Enhanced Care Changes:
Pre-authorized treatments for Health Services (taken from the ICBC website)
The number of pre-authorized treatments are outlined in the Insurance (Vehicle) Regulation and the Enhanced Accident Benefit Regulation. ICBC customers are able to access the preauthorized number of treatment sessions within the first 12 weeks from the date of their crash without ICBC approval. The pre-authorized treatment sessions include the initial assessment visit.
| Health Care Service | Pre-Authorized Treatments |
| Acupuncture | 12 |
| Chiropractic | 25 |
| Counselling | 12 |
| Kinesiology | 12 |
| Massage Therapy | 12 |
| Physiotherapy | 25 |
| Psychology | 12 |
Pre-authorized treatments are limited to one treatment modality type a day, but there is no restriction to the combination of pre-authorized treatments. For example, a customer may attend a kinesiology treatment and a massage treatment, but not two kinesiology treatments on the same day.
