Insurance
While many people pay for services independently, sessions may be covered by Employee Assistance Programs or private insurance if you have group benefits or are covered under a plan as a spouse or dependent.
​
You are encouraged to look into the specific details of your coverage with the following questions in mind:
​
Does my Employee Assistance Program cover Social Work services?
If yes, how many sessions are covered?
What is my maximal annual coverage amount?
What is the coverage amount/therapy session?​
​
Does my group insurance benefits cover social work or psychotherapy services?
If yes, how many sessions are covered?
What is my maximal annual coverage amount?
What is the coverage amount/therapy session?
Do I need a requisition form from my doctor?
​
​
​
If you do not have private insurance or employee benefits to assist with financing therapy, or you have exhausted your annual benefits, please be aware that any out-of-pocket service fees paid here at TLC counselling can be included as medical expenses on your next income tax return for a FEDERAL TAX CREDIT.
This is because Registered Social Workers are recognized by, and listed as, medical practitioners in federal legislation.
