Osteopathy Coverage for First Nations People

Osteopathic Treatments for First Nations People


International Osteopathic Association (IOA), in cooperation with the Ontario College of Osteopathic Rehabilitation Sciences (OCORS) are working to get manual osteopathy accepted for coverage by the First Nations & Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB) – Ontario Region of Health Canada.

First Nations people have access to additional health coverage not available to others. For example they have $150 per year coverage for chiropractic treatments, as well as coverage for custom made foot orthotics and other assistive devices.

IOA is confident that it can obtain similar coverage for osteopathic treatments provided to First Nations people.
