We're Here to Help

• Remember to Identify yourself as a varsity athlete when contacting the clinic.
• You can access Physiotherapy at Fowler Kennedy without a physician referral.
• All athletes have access to medical (physician) services through their Provincial Health Plan or equivalent, i.e. UHIP for out-of-country students by presenting their health card at time of service.
• All athletes have unlimited access to physiotherapy and athletic therapy services. Western University requires all athletes, managers and trainers to keep the student insurance plan (Do Not Opt Out) to ensure adequate coverage in the event of an injury and to help offset the costs of these services. Athletes can complete paperwork to allow the clinic to direct bill the student insurance plan. For further information on benefits refer to https://www.mystudentplan.ca/purplecare/en/studentplan. As well, staff at Fowler Kennedy will answer any questions you may have about your eligibility or coverage.
