Regardless if your workplace/ insurance company is on this list, it is a good idea to call your insurance company and ask them about your specific coverage and their reimbursement process.

Here are some questions you can ask:

  1. Do I need a doctors referral?

  2. How much coverage do I have for counselling services ? 

  3. Is there a deductible?

  4. What professional title do you require of my counsellor?                                              (Registered Counselling Therapist)

  5. How do I submit receipts for reimbursement?

No, MSI does not normally cover counselling services in private practice

Can I claim fees for counselling services on my taxes.

Yes, counselling services are able to be claimed as a medical expense.
