Fees

If you have extended health-care insurance through your employer (for example, health coverage by Sunlife, Manulife, Greenshield, Great West Life, etc.), your insurance company may reimburse you for part or all of the cost of seeing a Psychologist.

We suggest you read the insurance booklet describing your benefits, or talk to your insurance company to find out about your coverage for seeing a Psychologist or Registered Psychotherapist.

We are happy to provide direct billing to select insurance companies that allow us to do so. Ask our administrative staff whether your plan will allow us to direct bill.

If we cannot direct bill your insurer, payments can be made at reception after each treatment session. We will issue you a receipt that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Are Psychology Services Covered after an Auto Accident?

• If you have a pre-existing mental health condition that has been worsened by a motor vehicle accident (MVA), you may qualify for coverage of mental health and psychology services under your auto insurance plan.
• In addition, if you are struggling with a new mental health condition (emotional changes, behavioural changes, changes in attention, memory, etc.) or a brain injury (including concussion) as a result of an accident, the cost of psychology services is covered under your auto insurance.

Our psychologists assess, diagnose, and treat a range of conditions, including chronic pain, depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, and traumatic brain injury. We are used to working with other treatment providers, doctors, case managers, insurance adjusters, and lawyers to make sure you get the treatment you need.

If you have an accident claim open, contact us, and we can assist you with applying for funding for treatment. We will meet with you to submit an “OCF-18 form”, asking for funding for services.

The Criminal Injuries Compensation Board provides compensation for psychology services to eligible applicants who experience psychological problems as a result of being a victim of crime.

Compensation may be awarded even if no charges were laid or if there was no conviction in a criminal proceeding.

Anyone injured as a result of violent crime in Ontario can apply.

Violent crimes may include attempted murder, firearm offences, poisoning, arson and other offences such as assault, sexual assault, domestic assault, child physical assault, and child sexual abuse.

Can anyone else apply?

• Family members of deceased victims can also apply for compensation if they were financially dependent on the deceased victim or if they paid expenses as a result of the death.
• A person can also apply for compensation if he/she witnessed or came upon the scene of an extremely violent crime and meets the legal criteria for a finding of “mental or nervous shock”.
