Insurance/Extended Health Plans:

Many extended health insurance plans cover at least a portion of the cost of counselling sessions provided by registered and licensed professionals. Please contact your extended health plan provider to find out what services are covered and your annual limit. 

Direct billing is currently available for a number of insurance companies, including:

Alberta Blue Cross

Canada Life/Great West Life

Chambers Plan

Desjardins

Equitable Life of Canada

First Canadian Health

Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB – First Nations)

Green Shield

GroupSource

Manulife

Medavie Blue Cross

Other insurance carriers may provide direct billing as well; this can be checked by providing the name of your insurance provider to Stephanie upon booking or during the first session. 

Please note: Sunlife does not currently allow Psychologists to direct bill. After providing payment and then sumbitting your session info through the Sunlife app, you will be reimbursed by Sunlife, typically within 1-2 business days.

Reimbursement:

If your insurance company does not provide direct billing for psychologists, an official receipt will be provided after your visit so that you can submit for reimbursement, where applicable. 

Psychological services are a tax-deductible medical expense.

Types of Payment Accepted:

Payments can be made by credit card, debit, and eTransfer. Email money transfers can be sent to info@bowmontcounselling.com.
