Insurance Reimbursement

At Cherished Pathways Counselling Services, we want to help reduce your financial stress by supporting direct billing options and helping you access your insurance benefits. Here’s how you can check your insurance coverage and use our direct billing service via TELUS Health eClaims.

Step 1: Check If You’re Covered

  • Call or log in to your insurance provider's online portal and ask:

  • Do I have coverage for counselling under my Extended Health Benefits?

  • Does my plan cover services provided by a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) or a member of the Professional Association of Christian Counsellors and Psychotherapists (PACCP)?

  • What is the yearly maximum coverage amount?

  • Do I need a doctor’s referral to be reimbursed for counselling sessions?

  • Am I eligible for direct billing through TELUS eClaims?

​

Step 2: Provide Insurance Details

If your plan is eligible for direct billing through TELUS eClaims, please bring the following to your first session:

  • Your benefits card (with your plan/policy number)

  • Date of birth (and that of the policyholder if different)

  • Authorization, if your insurer requires it

​

We’ll submit the claim on your behalf, and you’ll only need to pay the difference (if any). 

​

If Direct Billing is not available, you can still:

  1. Pay for your session up front.

  2. We will issue you a receipt with our license number and credentials.

  3. You submit it to your insurance provider for reimbursement.
