Is counselling covered by my extended health plan?

Many extended health plans cover counselling with a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). I don't direct-bill insurers. You pay at your session and receive a receipt with my RCC number (#19914) to submit to your plan. Check with your provider about your coverage amount.
