Extended Health Insurance
Check Your Extended Health Coverage
Coverage depends on your plan, the service and your practitioner's designation. Confirm the details with your insurer before booking.
Questions for Your Practitioner
Ask for the practitioner's full name and designation, the appointment fee and length, and the information that will appear on your payment documentation. Direct billing must be confirmed separately.
BC Funding
Check BC Funding Requirements
Funding rules and available programs can change. Confirm current eligibility and provider requirements directly with the responsible program before starting a funded service.
Children and Youth Supports
Use the BC government's current information as a starting point when exploring child and youth disability supports or autism-related funding. Ask which program applies to your situation.
Approval Before Appointments
Confirm which services, providers and costs can be funded, what paperwork is required, and whether approval is needed before booking. Do not assume Vancouver Therapy Centre or a particular practitioner is approved.
Visit the BC government's website for current program information.
We do not determine program eligibility or guarantee funding. Ask the relevant program about its current requirements.
Claims and Recovery
ICBC and WorkSafeBC Enquiries
A claim does not by itself confirm coverage for a service at Vancouver Therapy Centre. Check with your claim contact and our team before booking.
ICBC
Ask your recovery or claim contact which services and practitioners are eligible, what authorization is needed and whether any costs would be your responsibility.
WorkSafeBC
Confirm that your claim and the proposed treatment are approved, and that the specific practitioner can provide the service under the applicable arrangements.
Payment and Receipts
Confirm Payment Before Your Appointment
Ask about the fee, payment method and any expected out-of-pocket costs before you book. Written confirmation helps you plan.
Direct Billing
Ask us to confirm direct billing for your specific service, practitioner and insurer. Until it is confirmed, do not assume that your insurer will be billed directly or that your appointment is covered.
Receipts and Tax Questions
Ask what payment documentation will be provided. For tax eligibility, check the Canada Revenue Agency's guidance or an appropriate tax professional. Do not assume every therapy fee qualifies.
