Don’t See Your Insurer? You’re Probably Still Covered

If your insurer is on that network, we can direct bill it. See the full TELUS Health guide, or just call 604-242-2233 and reception will run a test claim while you book.
How Direct Billing Works at Artemis (3 Steps)
- Before your visit — tell reception your insurer name, member ID, and policy number.
- At your appointment — your practitioner treats you; you sign a one-time authorization to bill on your behalf.
- At checkout — we submit the claim electronically and you pay only the uncovered portion (typically $0–$30). No upfront payment, no waiting weeks for reimbursement.
You leave with an itemized receipt showing exactly what your insurer paid and your remaining benefit balance.
What You’ll Actually Pay
For most extended-health plans plus direct billing, real out-of-pocket per session is $0 to $30. ICBC and WorkSafeBC approved claims are typically $0. For full worked examples, see the Richmond RMT Direct Billing & Cost Guide.
Direct Billing Covers All Six Disciplines
Whatever insurer you have, direct billing applies across every regulated service at Artemis:
- Registered Massage Therapy (RMT)
- Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine
- Physiotherapy
- Chiropractic
- Kinesiology
- Osteopathy (manual therapy — newest addition)
Because all six are under one roof, a single insurance setup at the front desk covers your whole treatment plan — even if it spans multiple disciplines.
