Access to healthcare is a fundamental right, yet many individuals face barriers due to factors such as immigration status and financial constraints. The Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) in Canada seeks to bridge this gap by providing temporary healthcare coverage to refugees, asylum seekers, and other individuals not eligible for provincial health insurance. At Health Club Wellness Clinic, we recognize the importance of equitable healthcare access and are dedicated to supporting patients under the IFHP program.
Understanding the IFHP Program: The Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) is a federally funded initiative designed to provide temporary healthcare coverage to certain groups of individuals who are not eligible for provincial or territorial health insurance. This includes refugees, refugee claimants, protected persons, and certain other categories of newcomers to Canada. The program aims to ensure access to essential healthcare services, including physician and hospital services, prescription medications, and supplemental healthcare services such as physiotherapy.
How can we help: Our team of skilled physiotherapists is committed to providing high-quality care and support to patients enrolled in the IFHP program.
IFHP patients attending their first physiotherapy session are required to bring their immigration documentation, such as refugee claimant ID or immigration papers. This information ensures that the clinic can verify their eligibility for coverage under the Interim Federal Health Program and provide appropriate care.
