My services may be covered by your extended health benefits but they are not covered by OHIP. I do not file insurance claims directly but will provide you with a detailed receipt that you may submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. If you are unsure if my services would be covered by your extended health benefits, I suggest checking with your insurance provider and confirming if they cover services by Registered Social Workers and/or individuals with a Master of Social Work. You may also want to confirm what is the maximum amount that is covered per session, and how much total coverage you are given per year.
