Status Verification Search Tool for Insurance Companies

The Canadian Athletic Therapists Association (CATA) is the national certifying and credentialing body for Certified Athletic Therapists in Canada. This search tool allows insurers and the public to confirm whether a therapist is currently certified and in good standing with the CATA. To use the tool, simply enter the therapist's first or last name and click "Search". This verification tool only includes active Certified Athletic Therapists who have maintained their certification with the CATA. If the person you are searching for does not appear, they may be on leave, inactive or uncertified. For questions about a specific therapist, please contact us at info@athletictherapy.org.

Health insurance claims can be verified by confirming that the provider is a Certified Athletic Therapist (CAT(C)) "in good standing" with CATA.
No additional provincial membership, affiliation, registration, licensure, or equivalent is required to validate a claim for Athletic Therapy services by a Certified Athletic Therapist (CAT(C)).
