Care for Refugees and Protected Persons at New Life Physio and Health Clinic
At New Life Physio and Health Clinic, we provide physiotherapy care for individuals covered under the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP).
The IFHP is a Government of Canada program that provides temporary health coverage for eligible individuals, including a refugee (asylum) claimant, a protected person or resettled refugee and part of certain other groups until provincial health insurance becomes available. Physiotherapy services may be included as part of medically necessary rehabilitation care under IFHP.
Physician Referral Requirement
A physician referral is required to access physiotherapy services under IFHP at our clinic.
This ensures:
- Proper medical documentation of your condition
- Confirmation that physiotherapy is medically necessary
- Smooth processing of IFHP coverage and billing
If you need assistance obtaining a referral, our team can guide you through the process.
IFHP Coverage and Co-Payment
Physiotherapy coverage under IFHP is provided according to program guidelines and approved fee schedules.
As of May 2026, patients are required to pay a 30% co-payment for physiotherapy and other supplemental health services under IFHP.
Before starting treatment, our clinic will:
