You’re not alone — and this is a good place to start

Insurance coverage for counselling can vary depending on your provider and your specific plan. If you’re unsure which types of counselling services your insurance reimburses, this page will help you make an informed choice before booking.

In general, most insurance plans follow these patterns: 

• All insurance companies reimburse sessions with a Registered Psychologist

• Most insurance plans will reimburse for cover sessions with a Registered Social Worker
  

   

• Some insurance plans will reimburse for work with a Registered Counsellor / Psychotherapist

• A smaller number of plans cover all provider types

Because coverage varies by plan (even within the same insurance company),
we recommend choosing the option that offers the greatest likelihood of reimbursement if you’re unsure.

Member Services / Coverage Questions

Below are commonly used insurance providers in Saskatchewan.

We recommend contacting Member Services using the phone number listed on your benefits card or plan documents, as numbers can vary by plan and region.

Tip: Ask specifically which counselling providers are covered (Registered Psychologist, Registered Social Worker, Registered Counsellor / Psychotherapist).

It will also be helpful for you to know what your coverage limit is.

While we’re happy to guide you, insurance coverage is determined by your individual plan, not by us.

Before your first appointment, we encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly to confirm:

• which professional designations are covered

• how much coverage you have availabl

This step helps ensure a smooth experience and prevents reimbursement concerns for you later.

It’s important for you to confirm coverage details with your insurance provider prior to booking to ensure that you will be reimbursed for your sessions.
