Understanding the OCF-6: Expense Claim Form for MVA Patients

What is the OCF-6?

The OCF-6 (Expense Claim Form) is used when an MVA patient seeks reimbursement for medical expenses, assistive devices, travel costs, or caregiving expenses. Physiotherapists and chiropractors may need to support claims by providing receipts and medical justifications.

When to Use It?

✅ The patient paid out-of-pocket for treatment and needs reimbursement.
✅ The patient requires medical devices (e.g., braces, orthotics).
✅ The patient needs assistance with transportation to and from appointments.

Key Sections to Fill Out

1️⃣ Patient & Provider Details – Who is claiming expenses and for what services?
2️⃣ Expense Breakdown – List dates of service, provider, type of expense, and total cost.
3️⃣ Medical Justification – If applicable, explain why certain expenses are necessary.
4️⃣ Receipts & Documentation – Attach all supporting receipts and invoices.

Best Practices

📌 Encourage patients to keep all receipts for expenses related to care.
📌 Clearly document the medical necessity of prescribed devices or travel.
📌 Ensure all information matches the OCF-18 or OCF-23 to avoid delays in reimbursement.

Final Thoughts

Ontario’s OCF forms are essential for MVA claim management, but they can be confusing. As a physiotherapist or chiropractor, completing these forms accurately and efficiently ensures that your patients receive the care and benefits they need—while securing proper compensation for your services.
