I would like to receive acupuncture treatment for the pain caused by a motor vehicle accident. Do I need the approval of the ICBC adjuster and doctors' referrals?

No. The first 12 treatments do not require the approval of the ICBC nor doctors' referrals. You only need to bring your ICBC Claim number. If you need more than 12 treatments, you can request ICBC to extend your treatment.
