CANCELLATION POLICY
At FIT For Work we have a cancellation policy tailored to our business to help prevent or reduce "no show" appointment loss. In our efforts to reduce and diminish timely wait lists for all services we feel our policy has definitely aided in our efforts to achieve this.
Our cancellation policy is as follows:
MEDICAL SERVICES
Independent Medical Evaluation - Office contact within 48 business hours prior to the scheduled appointment is required to avoid cancellation fee of $500.00.
Medical Consultation - Office contact within 48 business hours prior to the scheduled appointment is required to avoid a cancellation fee of $337.50.
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY / KINESIOLOGY SERVICES
Functional Capacity Evaluation - Office contact within 24 business hours prior to the scheduled appointment is required to avoid a cancellation fee of $250.00.
Targeted Functional Assessment - Office contact within 24 business hours prior to the scheduled appointment is required to avoid a cancellation fee of $150.00.
Exercise Therapy - Office contact within 24 business hours prior to the scheduled appointment is required to avoid a cancellation fee of $65 per hour for intake/ progress/ discharge appointments and / or $25 for daily supervised sessions.
Work Hardening/ Conditioning Program - Office contact within 24 business hours prior to the scheduled appointment is required to avoid a cancellation fee of $25.
*Please note: If we are successful in filling the scheduled block of time with another billable service the cancellation fee will be waived.
At FIT For Work, our goal is to provide a quality service in a time efficient manner and we feel our cancellation policy deters clients from "no show" or late cancellations and promotes expedited scheduling.

LMR is Labour Market Re-entry. It is an extension of the service previously referred to as the Workforce Re-entry Assistance Program or WRAP. LMR is a scope of services offered to injured or disabled individuals who are not returning to their pre-injury job but may be medically suited to find alternate work. These services would assist to define the client's transferable skills, interests and aptitudes, and training potential (if appropriate) in order to determine their ability to transfer from one vocational path to another. To assist in this vocational transfer, workforce re-entry assistance such as resume development, interview skills, job search or job placement services are also available.
The LMR program is a set of individual services tailored to the client:
A Transferable Skills Analysis identifies job related skills developed through previous training and life experiences that could be used competitively in the job market. The service offers options for alternate work and wage loss/recovery information is supplied.
Psychometric Evaluation is for individuals who cannot or likely not to return to a previous or pre-disability type of work. A Cognitive Profile for Vocational Planning (or a Psychometric Evaluation) is sometimes required to identify full cognitive potential for retraining.
Work Samples approximate real life situations and can be used to assess job skill potential and worker behaviours. The simulations cover such skills as Clerical Comprehension, Money Handling, and Mechanical Repair.
Workforce Re-entry (Job Search and Job Placement Services):
Job Search Training, Job Placement, National Occupation Code (NOC) and Local Labour Market Research.
This is a brief outline of our Labour Market Re-entry program. Call or e-mail for an information pamphlet and speak with our staff about who can benefit from our services. In St. John's 709-722-7676, or e-mail info@fitforwork.com.
