Payment & Insurance
Payment can be made at the beginning of your session either by Cash, Debit, Visa, MasterCard or e-transfer. Many clients may be covered by private insurance or employer benefits. Please inquire with your insurance or benefit provider regarding the details of your coverage. Some insurance plans will cover the entire cost of a therapy session, while other plans do not. All plans have a maximum that can be billed per annum. Some insurance plans may require a referral letter from a medical practitioner. Obtaining this information as well as reimbursement from an insurance company is your responsibility unless you are covered by one of the insurance companies we are registered with.
Daring Greatly psychological is registered to direct bill to the following insurance companies:

For any companies not listed, please know that you will be provided with a receipt at time of payment so you are able to seek reimbursement immediately. Any fees that are not covered by an insurance or benefits are tax deductible as part of health care expenses on your income tax return. It is my policy to maintain a valid credit card on file as back-up for all clients seeking direct billing.
Missed or cancelled sessions without advanced notification are charged a full session fee. This charge is normally not covered by insurance policies.
