For in-person counselling sessions (TBD late 2024), I work at Providence Therapy, a beautiful clinic located in the heart of downtown, Vancouver. The address is unit 718, 744 West Hastings St., Vancouver BC.
INSURANCE COVERAGE
Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC) can be covered by many Extended Health Benefit Plans, however, this depends on the package your employer or company purchased from the insurance company such as Blue Cross, Sun Life, Great-West Life, Manulife & Green Shield.
Tips to find if you are covered for counselling therapy under your plan.
1- Consult with your HR department to find out how to find the policy, which details the specifics of your company’s extended health plan (often provided in a booklet, on a website or via telephone);
2- Packages usually outline which therapist/counsellor/psychotherapist credentials are covered by the insurance plan; specifically, you might ask if your insurance plan covers Registered Clinical Counsellor Fees;
3- Request information on the yearly maximum for counselling expense reimbursement; the deductible or the per cent of coverage for each visit.
