FAQs
Direct billing means you no longer have to pay the full session fee upfront and then submit a claim to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement. Instead, we handle the paperwork and submit claims directly to your insurance provider. This means that you’ll only need to cover the difference if your insurance doesn’t fully cover the cost. Our secure practice management software allows us to seamlessly calculate and process any remaining balance after your insurance coverage is applied, making the payment process simple and transparent.
For example, our session fees are $200, and if your insurance covers this amount entirely, you won’t pay anything out of pocket. If your plan covers part of the fee, you’ll only pay the remaining balance.
As well as our online counselling services, our hassle-free process makes it even easier for many Nova Scotians to access the mental health support they need.
If your insurance plan covers services provided by Registered Counselling Therapists (RCTs), you’re likely eligible for direct billing. We work with several major insurance providers, including:
– Green Shield Canada
– Manulife
– Blue Cross
– TELUS Health
Even if your provider isn’t listed, contact us! We’re continually expanding our network to offer direct billing to more Nova Scotians. Although direct billing for therapy isn’t currently available for Sun Life and Canada Lifeplans, we can provide you with the necessary documentation to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.
Mental health is crucial for overall well-being, but financial constraints often create a barrier to accessing necessary support. Direct billing eliminates this obstacle for Nova Scotians with insurance coverage that includes this feature, making therapy more accessible and affordable.
If you’re a Dalhousie University student, you’re in luck! Your student health plan provides up to $1,000 in coverage for therapy each year! That means you can access five free sessions with us annually.
