EXTENDED HEALTH BENEFITS
Your benefits may cover the cost of therapy.
Many extended health insurance plans provide coverage for psychotherapy and counselling services delivered by Registered Social Workers and Registered Psychotherapists. Coverage depends on your specific plan, including the professional designation covered, annual limits and reimbursement arrangements.
Check your coverage
Confirm that your plan covers services provided by a Registered Social Worker (RSW) or Registered Psychotherapist (RP). You can also ask about annual limits and whether couples therapy is included.
Direct billing, where available
We offer direct billing to eligible insurance providers wherever available, so you may not have to pay the full session fee upfront.
Receipts for reimbursement
If direct billing is unavailable, we can provide a receipt for you to submit to your insurance provider. We encourage you to confirm your coverage before your first appointment.
FIRST NATIONS & INUIT MENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS
NIHB counselling coverage.
BelMind Therapeia offers direct billing through the Non Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) program for eligible First Nations and Inuit clients.
Eligible mental health counselling services may be covered through NIHB, subject to program eligibility and applicable authorization requirements.
