Direct Billing
I am a registered services provider and offer Direct Billing with:
Pacific Blue Cross
Greenshield
Canada Life
ICBC Provider Network
Direct billing means I bill on your behalf to your insurer so you are free from upfront costs for receiving counselling. For plans that do not cover counselling at 100% you are responsible for paying the co-pay to my clinic as part of a direct billing services agreement. This could include the deductible if not yet payed to your plan for a given service term.
Extended Health Insurers
I provide detailed receipts for insurance reimbursement through your extended health benefits provider, for those with an insurance plan that does not accommodate direct billing. A quick check in with your benefits provider will tell you whether the services of an RCC are covered by your plan. Most plans with the following insurers cover counselling with an RCC:
Manulife
Great West Life
Sunlife
Greenshield
Equitable Life
Telus eClaims
I send out receipts the same day as your payment is processed for quick access to reimbursement claims
3rd Party Coverage
I am a registered service provider with ICBC’s Provider Network. If you have an active ICBC claim you are eligible to receive services from an RCC, covered by ICBC. ICBC pays counsellors directly within the session limits set out in your ICBC treatment agreement - so you will incur no upfront costs to see an ICBC Provider Network Counsellor. If you would like more information on this process or how to get set up for ICBC covered sessions, I am happy to assist with this process. Please note if you do not yet have an active/approved treatment plan at the time you start counselling, session payment would occur outside of ICBC direct billing until you have an approved treatment plan - these can be retroactively applied for reimbursement from ICBC.
Please mention you are looking to receive services as part of an ICBC claim in your inquiry message/email, and/or during your consultation!
Additional Reimbursement Options
If you are a student, most public universities in BC include an amount of extended health coverage for services received by a Registered Clinical Counsellor.
UBC students are eligible for counselling benefits through Pacific Blue Cross, for which I am a direct billing service provider.
