Ontario legal information · Ottawa and Eastern Ontario
The useful question is more specific than the page title.
The Ottawa Hospital Rehabilitation Centre provides specialized inpatient and outpatient programs, but programs have clinical referral and eligibility requirements.2

Keep responsibility, available coverage and actual loss in separate columns.
Legal route
Health services decide clinical eligibility and treatment.
Insurance or benefit route
SABS, extended health, WSIB or other plans may decide payment under their rules.
Practical decision
A later civil claim may seek reasonable care costs caused by another person's fault.
Build the record from material another person can verify.
Current medical need and referral.
Program criteria, wait information and accessibility.
Policy coverage, treatment plan and denial reason.
Attendance, response, travel burden and unmet need.
Protect the next date without pretending every claim follows one clock.
Use emergency services for urgent health needs rather than waiting on insurer approval.3
Submit required funding forms promptly and track dispute dates separately.
How a personal injury lawyer may use this information.
General information explains the framework. Legal advice should connect that framework to the event, the people and insurers involved, the available records and the deadlines in the individual claim.
- Match need to service level
- Confirm referral and eligibility
- Identify the payer
- Document unmet care needs
Not every file requires every step or legal representation. The work should respond to the actual dispute, evidence gap or decision that is approaching.
