Insurance
As a registered psychologist, my services are typically covered under most extended health insurance benefits. Please check your coverage carefully prior to your first appointment by asking your provider the following questions:
- Do I have coverage for a psychologist?
- What is my deductible and has it been met?
- Do I require a referral from my GP?
- How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
- What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
I am a registered Pacific Blue Cross Provider and accept private clients who have Blue Cross as their insurance provider or government employees such as:
- Veterans Affairs Canada
- Canadian Armed Forces
- Royal Canadian Mounted Police
Payment
Payment is due at the beginning of the session. Cash, etransfer, Visa, and Mastercard are accepted. Debit, Visa debit, American Express, and cheques are not accepted. A receipt will be emailed to you once payment has been processed (typically within 1-2 business days) which you may use to receive reimbursement from your extended health benefits/insurance provider.
Cancellation Policy
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, I require 48 hours notice by telephone or email. All phone calls and emails date and time stamped to my business hours (Monday-Friday 10:00-4:30pm). Telephone messages and emails left, or sent, after hours and on weekends and statutory holidays will be considered received at 10:00am the following business day. The regular session fee will apply to missed appointments without sufficient notification. Patients are required to pay for missed appointments prior to scheduling subsequent appointments.
