Is marriage counseling covered my any Canadian Provincial plans?
I was with Blue Cross and Group Medical, and both covered pschologist services, which can also act as marriage counselors. Talk to your psychologist and have him/her write up the receipt accordingly. If you don’t have additional health care and want to apply, do not indicate that you need these services or they will deny you. Usually you have to wait 30 days before claiming for any benefits so if you go to the counselor before then, have them post date your receipt. Depending on your coverage they allow $200 for Blue Cross and $300 for Group Medical for starters. Also, if you have coverage from two companies (BC and GM) they will ask you to submit that information on the form. If you have dual coverage they only compensate you for half and you have to get the other half from the other insurance company.
