Attendant Care, Protected Accounts and more for 2023

Posted by Kris Cardoso in Blog, In the News

Happy New Year

The Ontario Rehab Alliance team are hitting the ground running!
A little update on our current advocacy measures and upcoming events.

Attendant Care Discussion Group

Attendant Care providers are experiencing escalating frustrations with the accident benefits scheme and insurer claims handling. Most recently we’ve heard of an escalation of requests for minute-by-minute billing, among other issues.

ORA is arranging a member-only creative problem solving discussion group.

At the meeting we will check-in with attendees to determine the priority issues, compare notes of successes and challenges and brainstorm an action plan. Actions might include such things as developing additional resources and templates, holding a virtual event to examine the big picture and sector-wide impact, and a refreshed advocacy strategy, etc..

Not a member yet? Membership is open year round. Visit our site to learn more.

Protected Accounts Discussion Group

In September, we hosted the MVA Rehab Conditions & Protected Accounts event, with guest speaker, Gord Harris of Harris Law.

Many of those in attendance felt that it would be beneficial to continue the discussion around protected accounts, including resource sharing and trouble-shooting any current concerns.

We are looking to pick back up on this member-only discussion come February.

We Would Love Your Input

We want to hear from you, our Ontario rehab community – members and non-members, colleagues, peers, associations, organizations, etc.

What kind of virtual event would you be interested in attending?
What are the topics that interest you most that would likely also interest your rehab provider colleagues?
What issues are you facing as a rehab service provider in the auto industry that you would like more support with?

In terms of our own ideas, ORA is already considering the following events for 2023:

Social Media Event – The Basics tied with ‘What To Do vs. What Not to Do as a Health Service Provider’
Ask A Lawyer Event – We are bringing this back by popular demand
Practicing Cultural Humility in Client Care

We would love to hear your ideas, thoughts, concerns and issues.
Anyone in the Ontario rehab community is welcome to share their thoughts.Share Your ORA Event Ideas Here

Advocacy, Survey Results and New in the Rehab Community

Posted by Kris Cardoso in In the News

Dear colleagues.

Did you miss our September 29 Virtual Discussion with Gord Harris about Protect Accounts and other potholes on our rehab provider road? If so, you may want to take a look at the slide deck key findings from our Rehab Sector Road Conditions Provider survey this last month.

We are creating a Protected Accounts problem-solving and resource-sharing task group. If you are an ORA Member and would like to participate, please email – [email protected] If you are not a member, but are interested in participating, join ORA today.

Navigating extended health/collateral benefits is another huge pothole and extra sticky type red tape. We are anxious to see the government follow up on its spring budget announcement. We’ve recently sent this letter to the Minister of Finance to encourage action.

We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Sincerely,
Laurie Davis, Executive Director

Our conference is a multi-track event featuring sessions that appeal to the many professionals working with individuals who have sustained a brain injury, as well as survivors and family members living with the effects of brain injury. Our aim is to provide you with opportunities to reflect on the advances that have benefited the lives of individuals living with a brain injury and to look towards the future direction of research, resources, clinical practice and personal journeys.

What’s New This Month? – Sept

Posted by Kris Cardoso in Blog, In the News

Dear Colleagues,

We have missed you and want to hear from you!

Is working in this sector driving you around the bend?

Complete our MVA Rehab Road Conditions: HSP Survey today.

We would like to hear from practitioners (such as sole providers, independent contractors) and companies who bill insurers directly. Membership in one of the participating associations is not required to participate. If you do not bill an insurance company directly for your services, there is no need for you to complete this survey.

This survey is intended as a big-picture, broad-strokes health-check on the auto insurance sector.

Complete the Survey Now

Once you have completed the survey, register for our not-to-missed LIVE DISCUSSION on September 29th at 1 PM.

We’ll share fresh data from the above survey on what providers have to say about rates, recruitment, retention, revenues and protected accounts.

Gordon Harris of Harris Law will join our panel of providers to speak directly on the topic of Protected Accounts — one of the biggest potholes of all in the MVA Rehab sector!

Good information, great discussion and fuel for thought. Don’t miss it!

Members – $20
Non-members – $50

View event flyer here!

All registrants will receive their unique join link 2 days before the webinar. We hope to see you there!

Members get discounted access, become a member here.

Our membership options now include monthly subscription options for the most affordable access to our resources.
