This is what Ailio has found in Nanaimo — not every clinic in it. Openings are read from each clinic’s booking system into a regularly refreshed index rather than live, so confirm before you travel.
Every calendar we can read in Nanaimo is full for the rest of today. Cancellations are where most short-notice appointments come from, so an alert usually beats refreshing.
All 12 practitioners we hold in Nanaimo, ordered by who is free soonest — never by what anyone paid us. 8 practitioners have an opening in the next 30 days.
Local context
Ailio holds 12 practitioners across 4 clinics in Nanaimo, which is what makes comparing them worth doing at all. Half of the listed prices sit between $103 and $155, but the lengths behind them differ — $68 · 15 min and $450 · 45 min are usually not the same treatment for a different price, they are different treatments.
The median listed price is $133, taken from 73 priced services at 5 clinics in Nanaimo. Half of them fall between $103 and $155. 76 services here publish no price at all and are not in that figure. These are the clinics' own published rates — Ailio adds no booking fee and never marks a price up.
Physiotherapy is not generally covered by MSP. MSP’s supplementary benefits pay a set amount per visit toward a limited number of visits a year for patients receiving premium assistance; hospital-based and some publicly funded outpatient programs are separate from private clinics entirely. Otherwise it is paid by the patient and claimed on an extended-health plan, or billed to ICBC or WorkSafeBC where a claim has been approved.
No. Physiotherapists in British Columbia are direct-access practitioners and you can book without a doctor’s referral. Your own extended-health plan may still require one before it reimburses, and ICBC and WorkSafeBC treatment depends on an open claim — ask your insurer before your first visit rather than after it.
Not today. Nothing is left in the calendars of the 5 clinics we can currently check in Nanaimo. Cancellations are where most short-notice appointments come from, so an alert is usually a better bet than refreshing.
1 clinic of the 9 clinics whose billing page we have read in Nanaimo state they submit a claim for you. Patient plans named most often: Extended health plans (1), GreenShield (1), Pacific Blue Cross (1), Sun Life (1) — claiming on one of those spends your own annual maximum. These are the clinics’ own words, repeated — confirm with them before you book, because whether a particular claim goes through is between the clinic and the payer.
Half of the listed prices fall between $103 and $155. From 73 priced services at 5 clinics; 76 other services here publish no price at all. Lengths differ between these, so compare the price ladder below rather than thisspread alone.
