OHIP and private insurance
Psychotherapy with a Registered Psychotherapist is not covered by OHIP. Some private or extended health insurance plans cover services from Registered Psychotherapists, either fully or partially.
Plans vary, so the safest step is to contact your insurer or benefits administrator before booking your first paid session.
Questions to ask your insurer
Ask whether your plan covers psychotherapy provided by a Registered Psychotherapist, whether a doctor's referral is required, what the annual maximum is, and what information needs to appear on the receipt.
Under A Tree Psychotherapy provides receipts after payment that can be submitted for reimbursement if your plan covers the service.
