How Does Direct Billing Work?

  • Check Your Insurance Coverage: Before your first session, get in touch with your insurer to confirm they cover counseling with Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs).
  • Share Your Insurance Details: While booking, our team will ask for your insurance details. We value your privacy and handle all details with confidentiality.
  • We Handle the Billing: After your session, we bill your insurance provider directly. This way, you often won’t need to pay upfront.
  • Settle Any Remaining Amounts: Your insurance will process the payment as per your plan. If there’s any amount left, we’ll let you know.
