Insurance Coverage
Fees may be covered, all or in part, by your health insurance provider, and it is recommended that you contact your provider to ask whether or not your particular plan includes coverage for services provided by a Registered Psychologist or Registered Provisional Psychologist. We are currently able to direct bill to Alberta Blue Cross.
Tax Deduction
Any amount that is not covered by an extended health care plan may qualify as a medical expense that may be deducted from your income tax.
Missed Appointments and Cancellations
Your appointment time has been reserved for you and/or your child. If you need to reschedule your appointment, 24 hours notice is required (48 hours for a gifted assessment). If cancellations are received with less than 24 hours notice (48 hours for a gifted assessment), you will be responsible for paying the hourly rate for that appointment time.
