Coverage may be obtained in the following way:

Most major insurance companies (SunLife, Blue Cross, Manulife) will now recognize "Psychotherapy" as an eligible health expense; however, we advise that you call the insurance company prior to the start of counselling to ensure there are no surprises once a claim is made. Also, psychotherapists cannot direct bill so payment for services are required prior to your submission for reimbursement. Receipts will be issued for all services.
For anyone not covered or for those who do not have health benefits, nursing services are eligible to be covered by Revenue Canada under the METC (Medical Expense Tax Credit) for any/all amounts paid that exceed 3% of the client’s net income after taxes/deductions.
Some clients have also been able to seek reimbursement through their insurance companies provided you have a "flex account" or "health spending account" that allows you to claim "private counselling services."

"My organization refused to cover the costs for Anchor of Hope but I would gladly pay twice the amount from my own pocket. It was money well spent." - J.S.

**As a small business, no shows or failing to provide 24 hours notice hurt us as a company. It also delays our work and prevents others from accessing services in a timely manner. Providing 24 hours notice upon cancellation of appointments allows us to offer your appointment slot to someone else.**
