Insurance

 

Many insurance companies through work or school have coverage for counselling sessions with  Registered Psychotherapists (RP) and Registered Psychotherapists (Qualifying).

Please Note: clients are responsible for looking into the requirements of their insurance coverage. Unfortunately, I do not offer direct billing at the moment and will instead issue a receipt once payment has been received to provide to your insurance provider. Reimbursement is often 3-5 days. 

I am formally registered with the following insurance companies as a Health Provider: Medavie Blue Cross Insurance, Sunlife, Canada Life, Green Shield, Telus Health. This just means that the insurers have a record of my credentials to streamline your process claims. 

 

Policies

How do you accept payment?

Right now I am only able to accept E-transfer as payment. In the future I will be able to accept cash, debit, and credit. 

Do you accept insurance?

Yes, I do! It largely depends on your insurance  provider and if they accept my license desgination as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I recommend contacting your insurance provider before your appointment or consultation to confirm what credentials are required for coverage, how much coverage you have left, and when your benefits reset.

While some insurance plans may require a referral, many dont. Please check with your provider for specific requirements.

At this time, I do not offer direct billing. However, I will provide you with a detailed receipt that you can use to submit for reimbursement through your insurance provider. My experience is that you will typically be reibursed in 3-5 days. 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me info@boykopsychotherapy.ca

Cancellation Policy

I require 48 hours notice to cancel a scheduled therapy session. If prior and timely notification is not provided, you will be charged the full session fee for the missed session.

This is to ensure I can provide an open space to someone else in need of a session time. Which is hard to do with little notice. I also understand life happens, we can always discuss a cancellation fee. 

Do you offer a sliding scale payment?

Yes I do! Please reach out to me directly at info@boykopsychotherapy.ca or through Connect with Kaitlin to discuss fee options. Limited sliding scale spots are available at this time. 

What is a sliding scale payment plan you ask? Well - Sliding scale payments are an agreement between a provider and a client to pay a reduced rate for therapy based on their current income.
