Using your insurance

As a Registered Social Worker (RSW), my services are covered by most extended health plans. You pay for each session and receive a receipt to submit to your insurer.

Before you start, it helps to check:

  • That your plan covers a Registered Social Worker or "social worker"
  • How much is covered per session and per year
  • Whether a doctor's referral is required
  • For couples, under whose plan to claim

Payment by Visa, Mastercard or Interac e-Transfer.

Plans that commonly cover RSW services

  • Sun Life
  • Manulife
  • Canada Life (Great-West Life)
  • Blue Cross
  • Alberta Blue Cross
  • Medavie Blue Cross
  • Pacific Blue Cross
  • Green Shield Canada
  • Desjardins
  • iA Financial Group
  • Beneva (SSQ)
  • Equitable Life of Canada
  • The Co-operators
  • Chambers Plan
  • Johnson

Coverage depends on your individual plan.

Questions about fees

Is therapy with you covered by insurance?

Most extended health plans cover services by a Registered Social Worker (RSW). You receive a receipt after each session to submit to your insurer. Check how much your plan covers each year, and whether couples sessions are claimed under one partner. See fees and insurance.

How do I pay?

By Visa, Mastercard or Interac e-Transfer. You receive a receipt after each session.

Do I need a doctor's referral?

Not to start therapy with me. Some insurance plans ask for a referral before they reimburse sessions, so check your plan.
