Under the CAAT Extended Health Care Plans (Academic, Administrative, Support), services provided by a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) are eligible expenses.

WHAT IS A DOCTOR OF OSTEOPATHY?

A Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) is a physician (MDs) who has additional qualification in osteopathy. They are regulated and certified by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. Osteopathic services provided by anyone other than a Doctor of Osteopathy are not eligible for reimbursement, as they were not provided by a practitioner who has completed the doctorate degree.

COVERAGE IN QUEBEC

Quebec is the only province with a regulatory body for osteopaths. The CAAT Extended Health Care Plans cover osteopathic services from practitioners registered with the Institut d'enseignement de l'osteopathie du Quebec (IEOQ).

It is highly recommended that you submit a predetermination to Sun Life by fax (416 490 0224) to ensure coverage.
