If you have been injured in a car accident in British Columbia, one of the first questions you likely have is where to go for treatment — and whether your treatment will be covered. At Artemis Wellness Clinic in Richmond, we accept ICBC claims for all of our services, and we bill ICBC directly so you can focus on recovery rather than paperwork.
What Does “ICBC Approved Clinic” Mean?
Under BC’s Enhanced Care model, you do not need to go to a specific “approved” clinic. You have the right to choose any qualified, registered healthcare provider for your treatment. What matters is that your provider is a regulated health professional in BC — a Registered Massage Therapist, Registered Acupuncturist, licensed Physiotherapist, or registered Chiropractor.
At Artemis, all of our practitioners are fully registered with their respective BC regulatory colleges. We are experienced in treating car accident injuries and in managing the ICBC claims process on behalf of our patients.
Why Patients Choose Artemis for ICBC Treatment
There are several reasons patients across Richmond and Metro Vancouver choose Artemis for their ICBC treatment.
Five Treatment Disciplines Under One Roof
Most ICBC injury cases benefit from more than one type of treatment. A whiplash patient might need RMT for muscle tension, acupuncture for pain and inflammation, physiotherapy for rehab exercises, and chiropractic for spinal alignment. At Artemis, you can access all five disciplines without visiting multiple clinics. Your practitioners coordinate your treatment plan together.
Direct Billing — No Upfront Cost
We bill ICBC directly for all approved treatments. You do not need to pay out of pocket and wait for reimbursement. When you book, simply provide your ICBC claim number, and we handle the rest.
Start Treatment Quickly
You do not need to wait for your ICBC claim to be fully processed before beginning treatment. In fact, early treatment produces better outcomes. You can start treatment at our clinic within days of your accident.
Experienced with Car Accident Injuries
Our team treats car accident injuries regularly. We understand the common injury patterns, the typical recovery timelines, and how to document your progress for ICBC.
Services Covered by ICBC at Artemis
All of the following services are available under your ICBC claim at our clinic.
Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) — for neck pain, back pain, muscle tension, headaches, and soft tissue injuries from car accidents. We have three RMTs on staff, so appointment availability is strong.
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine — for pain management, inflammation reduction, headaches, sleep disruption, and stress related to the accident. Our Registered Acupuncturist Mandy Tam provides treatment in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.
Physiotherapy — for rehabilitation exercises, movement restoration, strength building, and structured return-to-activity programs after a car accident.
Chiropractic Care — for spinal alignment, joint restrictions, nerve irritation, and posture correction after motor vehicle accidents.
Kinesiology and Active Rehabilitation — for exercise-based recovery programs that bridge the gap between clinical treatment and full return to normal activities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a doctor’s referral to start ICBC treatment?
A physician’s documentation of your injuries is recommended and strengthens your claim, but you can begin treatment at our clinic while this process is underway. Do not delay treatment waiting for paperwork.
Can I choose my own clinic for ICBC treatment?
Yes. Under BC’s Enhanced Care model, you have the right to choose your healthcare providers. You do not need ICBC to assign you to a specific clinic.
How many treatment sessions does ICBC cover?
ICBC does not set a fixed number of sessions. Coverage continues as long as treatment is medically necessary and contributing to your recovery. Your practitioners document your progress and communicate with ICBC as needed.
What if I was at fault in the accident?
Under BC’s no-fault Enhanced Care model, you are entitled to treatment coverage regardless of who was at fault. Your recovery benefits are the same whether you caused the accident or not.
Can I see multiple types of practitioners under one ICBC claim?
Yes. You can see an RMT, acupuncturist, physiotherapist, and chiropractor all under the same ICBC claim at Artemis. A multidisciplinary approach is actually recommended for most car accident injuries.
