RATES & POLICIES
Extended Health Benefits
Coverage for Counselling Services varies based on particular extended benefits plans. Please confirm with your provider regarding coverage for sessions with Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs). We will issue a receipt for our services that you may submit to your extended health benefits provider for reimbursement. For some individuals, fees that are not covered may be tax deductible as a medical expense.
If your plan does not cover RCCs, you may choose to contact your employer or insurance company directly to request a small change to the plan’s coverage. This change does not have financial impact on your employer, and it may increase the benefits payable to you by your extended health plan. Please contact us if you would appreciate some assistance in structuring this request/letter.
