Insurance coverage
I am an affiliate EAP / EFAP provider with PPC Canada and Shepell fgi. Please check your Employee/Family Assistance Plan for possible coverage. Some, but not all, extended health benefits plans and other insurance plans will cover counselling services from a Registered Clinical Counsellor. Some insurance plans will cover counselling only if you, as an insured person, request it. I would be glad to help you work out how to request coverage for counselling services from your benefits plan. As a clinical counsellor my services are not covered by the B.C. Medical Services Plan.Publicly Funded Programmes:
