Policies
Insurance Coverage
While Alberta Health Care does not currently cover psychological services, your private insurance company or health spending account may cover a portion or all of these costs. You may also be able to claim psychological services as a medical expense on your taxes. If you have questions about whether your insurance will cover psychological services, please contact your provider directly.
We do not currently direct bill insurance providers but facilitate the insurance process by providing you with detailed receipts that you can submit to your provider for reimbursement. Please ensure you are familiar with your coverage before booking.
Payment
A credit card is required on file for all bookings, and payment is taken at the time of your appointment. For assessments, payment can be made in full at the intake meeting, or you may choose to split the fee over two payments, with the first payment taken at the intake meeting and the final payment due at the feedback meeting. For gifted assessments, payment is taken in full at the time of the session.
Appointment Changes, Late Cancellations, and No Shows
Your appointment time has been reserved for you. For cancellations and appointment changes, please provide a minimum of 24 hours advance notice.
Clients who provide less than 24 hours cancellation notice or miss an appointment are responsible for paying a late cancellation or no-show fee equivalent to the hourly rate of the service. If a member of your household is feeling unwell, in-person counselling or consultation sessions can be moved to video or telephone. And don’t worry - we will send you a reminder email and/or text before your appointment (just make sure to opt-in to alerts when booking!).
Shared Custody and Legal Guardianship
In Alberta, parents who are separated or divorced are both required to provide consent for psychological services. If you have sole custody or sole-decision making, a copy of appropriate court documentation must be provided at the parent intake meeting. Legal guardians must similarly provide guardianship documents.
