FAQ
Common insurance questions
Do I need a doctor's referral to claim therapy on insurance?+
No. In Ontario, you can self-refer to a Registered Psychotherapist or Registered Social Worker. No doctor's note or referral is required in most cases.
How much does my plan typically cover?+
Most plans cover a set dollar amount per year (e.g. $500–$2,000) for registered mental health providers, often at 80–100% per session up to that limit. Coverage specifics depend on your individual plan.
What if my plan doesn't fully cover sessions?+
Many clients pay the difference out of pocket. We provide clear fee information before your first session so there are no surprises.
How do I submit my receipt to insurance?+
After your session, we provide a properly formatted receipt from Valisen Mental Health. You can submit this to your insurer online, via their app, or by mail — whichever method they offer.
Can both partners claim couples therapy on insurance?+
It depends on your individual plans. Some plans allow each partner to submit a claim separately. We can issue receipts accordingly — just let us know during intake.
What types of therapists are covered by insurance?+
Most extended health plans in Ontario cover Registered Psychotherapists (RP) and Registered Social Workers (RSW). All Valisen therapists hold one of these designations.
