OCF‑18: Treatment / Assessment Plan (Ontario)

The OCF‑18 is a form used in Ontario’s auto‑insurance system to request approval for certain assessments and treatment services after a motor vehicle accident.

Why it matters
  • Helps your insurer understand what services are being requested and why
  • Connects symptoms and functional impact to a proposed plan
  • Supports clear communication between you, your providers, and the insurer
What we typically need from you
  • Claim number, insurer, and adjuster contact details
  • Any referral letters or prior assessment reports (if available)
  • A brief symptom timeline and what’s most difficult day‑to‑day
  • Your goals (e.g., return to driving, sleep, mood stability, work functioning)
A simple step‑by‑step
  1. Consult — we clarify needs and determine whether assessment, treatment, or both are appropriate.
  2. Information gathering — history, symptoms, measures, and relevant documents.
  3. Plan — we outline goals, frequency, and expected outcomes.
  4. Submission — the appropriate paperwork is prepared for the insurer (as required).
  5. Start services — once approvals are in place, we proceed with the agreed plan.
