Direct Billing & Insurance Coverage
Coverage may vary depending on your clinician and provider. Many extended health and employee benefit plans cover counselling with a Registered Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist, or Social Worker.
We recommend confirming the following with your provider:
- Do I have mental health or counselling benefits?
- What is my coverage limit per session or per year?
- Do I need to meet a deductible first?
- Is a referral from a physician required?
- Are services from Provisional Psychologists or Social Workers eligible?
Note: Direct billing is available with select clinicians—please inquire when booking.
