An order that is made regarding a licence holder reflects a situation at a particular point in time. The status of a licence holder can change. Readers should check the current status of a person's or entity's licence on the Licensing Link section of FSCO's website. Readers may also wish to contact the person or entity directly to get additional information or clarification about the events that resulted in the order.

These bulletins may include forms that are no longer up-to-date or accurate. Readers should visit the forms section of the FSCO website, to ensure they are using the most recent version of a FSCO form.

With this Bulletin, the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO) is releasing an updated Professional Services Guideline (Guideline).

The revised Guideline recognizes that kinesiologists are now regulated health professionals as defined in the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.

The hourly rates are unchanged from the 2012 level. This is in line with the auto insurance rate reduction strategy outlined in the government’s 2013 Spring Budget.

Authority

This Guideline is issued by FSCO under subsection 268.3 (1) of the Insurance Act.

Copies

The revised Guideline is attached for your information and can also be downloaded from the FSCO website at www.fsco.gov.on.ca. In addition, the revised Guideline was published in the August 3, 2013 edition of The Ontario Gazette.
