Do insurance companies cover counselling?

Sometimes... In British Columbia, Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC) are covered on many extended health benefit plans, however, this depends on your company’s specific plan.

Here are some insurance companies and their toll-free numbers:

• Green Shield Canada: 1-888-711-1119

• Pacific Blue Cross: 1-877-722-2583

• Sun Life Financial: 1 (877) 786-5433

Speak to your human resources department or consult your benefits booklet, which contains the specifics of your company’s health plan to determine what kind of coverage you have. Ask if your insurance covers Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) or Canadian Certified Counsellors (CCC).
