Payments
We accept all major credit cards. A valid credit card on file is required for booking and payment will be processed after your session is complete. You will receive a receipt to submit to your extended health provider for reimbursement. Personal information including credit card information is stored on Jane App which uses an encrypted server and is PIPA compliant.
Cancellation
If you must cancel/reschedule an appointment, please provide us with 48 hours' advanced notice. Otherwise, the full rate will still apply.
Insurance
Many major insurance providers cover Registered Clinical Counselling. We will provide an invoice after payment, which you can submit for reimbursement. However, please consult with your insurance provider or human resources department to confirm whether or not your benefits plan covers counselling/psychotherapy provided by Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC) registered with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). We are unable to direct bill any third party, including ICBC or CVAP.
For ICBC claims: While our counsellors do not currently offer direct billing to ICBC, you may still be eligible for reimbursement for counselling services related to a motor vehicle accident by submitting your receipts to ICBC. We recommend reviewing your coverage details and confirming eligibility with your adjuster before your first session.
