Does insurance cover therapy?

1 answer

Many workplace benefit plans cover some counselling, but the amount and the professions they cover vary. Before you book, ask your plan which professionals are covered, how much is covered each year and whether you need a doctor's referral.

Therapy costs may also count toward the medical expense tax credit in some cases. Check the current Canada Revenue Agency rules or ask a tax professional.
