Insurance

How insurance works for a Registered Psychotherapist

Sessions are provided by a Registered Psychotherapist (RP). Many extended health benefit plans in Canada cover psychotherapy provided by a Registered Psychotherapist — but coverage varies by plan, so it's important to confirm your own.

After each session you receive a receipt showing the provider's name, CRPO registration, the service, and the amount paid, which you submit to your insurer for reimbursement. Health Spending Accounts (HSAs) and many workplace/EAP plans also commonly apply.

Good to Know

A few honest details

Psychotherapy with a Registered Psychotherapist is not covered by OHIP. NoorMinds does not currently offer direct insurance billing — you pay for the session and submit your receipt for reimbursement. The straightforward way to know your exact coverage is to ask your insurer the specific questions below.

Does insurance cover therapy in Ontario?
Many extended health benefit plans cover psychotherapy provided by a Registered Psychotherapist, but it depends on your specific plan. NoorMinds provides a detailed receipt after each session for you to submit for reimbursement. It's best to confirm coverage directly with your insurer.
Is psychotherapy covered by OHIP?
No. Psychotherapy with a Registered Psychotherapist in private practice is not covered by OHIP. It is commonly covered, in whole or part, by extended health benefit plans, workplace/EAP plans, and Health Spending Accounts.

Individual sessions are $180 (60 min). Couples sessions are $225 (60 min) or $350 (90-min extended). A free 15-minute consultation is available before you book.
Do you offer direct billing?
Not at this time. You pay for your session and receive a receipt to submit to your insurer for reimbursement.
Do I need a referral?
You don't need a referral to begin therapy with a Registered Psychotherapist. Some insurance plans, however, ask for a physician's referral before they'll reimburse — check with your provider.
