Things to Consider When Deciding What You Would Do in this Situation:

• Invoices must be clear and transparent. If a client receives Pilates training that is not part of a physiotherapist’s treatment plan, they should be billed separately for Pilates.

• In this case, insurance companies and third party payors should not be invoiced for physiotherapy. False invoices could result in a College or police investigation and could have serious outcomes for anyone involved.

• If you become aware that this type of questionable billing has happened, report it.

You can let the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario know about it by emailing investigations@collegept.org or calling 416-591-3828 ext. 227 or 1-800-583-5885 ext. 227.
