Frequently Asked Questions
Is Kinesiology Covered Under The Medical Services Plan (Msp)?
No, Unfortunately MSP does not cover Kinesiology services. We are a private company and work alongside insurance companies, such as, the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) and some extended health benefit providers.
Why Is The Business Address In Kelowna, But You Service Other Areas Throughout The Valley?
SHIFT Rehab Services is a community based company, meaning the Registered Kinesiologist will come to you or your client in their home, gym, pool, and/or a community facility. SHIFT Rehab Services will travel to Enderby, Armstrong, Vernon, Lake Country, Kelowna, West Kelowna, Peachland, and Summerland.
How Does SHIFT Rehab Services Offer No User Fees And Direct Billing?

Do I Need A Doctor's Referral?
Under the new Part 7 benefits through ICBC, you do not need a doctor’s referral. As of April 1, 2019, you are pre-approved for 12 kinesiology sessions after a no fault motor vehicle accident. Some insurance providers require a doctor’s referral in order to receive reimbursement of assessment and treatment costs, so it is best to call them for clarification.
