A Guide to Completing the OCF-18: Treatment and Assessment Plan for Ontario MVAs
The OCF-18 (Treatment and Assessment Plan) is a crucial document for physiotherapists and chiropractors treating patients after a motor vehicle accident (MVA) in Ontario. It outlines your proposed treatment plan and must be approved by the insurer before treatment can begin—unless the patient falls under the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
How to Properly Complete the OCF-23: Treatment Confirmation Form for MVAs
The OCF-23 (Treatment Confirmation Form) is used when treating patients under the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG). Unlike the OCF-18, this form does not require insurer pre-approval—it simply notifies the insurer that the patient is receiving care under the standard MIG coverage.
Completing the OCF-3: Disability Certificate for MVA Patients
The OCF-3 (Disability Certificate) is a medical document used to determine whether an accident victim qualifies for income replacement benefits, non-earner benefits, or caregiver benefits. As a chiropractor or physiotherapist, you may be asked to complete this form if you are the treating healthcare provider.
