INSURANCE MATTERS
ONTARIO INSURANCE PROVIDERS COVER SERVICES CONDUCTED BY THERAPISTS WITH AN RP, RP-Q, MSW DESIGNATION
It is important to know how much coverage you have before starting therapy so we can maximize treatment benefits by planning sessions effectively, as well as selecting the appropriate therapy approaches (short/long) to enhance your experience and positive outcomes.
Please contact your insurance provider to ensure sufficient coverage is available.
Questions you may ask are:
- What types of clinicians (e.g. psychologists, social workers, Certified Canadian Counsellor...) do I have coverage for?
- Is there a maximum coverage amount (per year/lifetime)? If so, what is it?
- When does my insurance coverage 'roll-over' or 'renew'?
- If I use up all my sessions/coverage but need more therapy what happens?
- If I am on disability - What information will be provided in the reports? Can I get a copy? How do I get a copy?
- If I am on disability - Do I have to go to the psychologist/therapist my case manager sends me too, or can you ask to work with someone of my choice?
- Does insurance pay no-show or late cancel fees?
