Am I eligible?

If you have been injured in a not-at-fault motor vehicle incident, and have suffered from illness as a result of that incident, then you are most likely entitled to rehabilitation that is funded partially or completely by the CTP insurer of the at-fault vehicle.

What exactly is covered?

  1. The CTP insurer will generally cover most, if not all medical expenses associated with the incident. With that said, prior approval is necessary for most services, including physiotherapy.
  2. With regards to any items purchased, there will be an out-of-pocket expense. However, if the receipt is presented to your lawyer, the cost will be reimbursed, usually when the claim is completed and settled.
  3. Items can only be claimed in this way if they are recommended by your health professional.
  4. The CTP insurer, in order to have them covered, and have no out-of-pocket expense, must preapprove any scans or other treatment received.

A Team Approach

At Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Australia, we use a multifaceted and holistic approach when treating our patients. We understand that motor vehicle accidents can often lead to a variety of conditions, and can result in anxiety around driving. This is especially with traffic situations that are similar to the one that caused the injury. Due to loss of function and loss of ability to provide it can sometimes all lead to depression.

In such cases, it is vital to receive a referral to a health professional that is equipped to help you with these symptoms.
