ALLIED THERAPY · FUNDING & ACCESS

Private Insurance & Direct Billing for Therapy in Nova Scotia

We meet children, adults, and families where they are- at our clinic, in partner locations, in your community, and virtually across Nova Scotia 

A referral is not required to access services

About This Funding Program
 

Many Canadian extended health benefit plans provide coverage for some regulated allied health services. Plans differ by insurer, employer, discipline, provider credentials, yearly maximums, referral requirements and usual-and-customary limits. Behaviour Therapy and counselling may be covered differently depending on the plan.

How Allied Therapy Can Help

Our team offers speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, behaviour therapy,  counselling services, Play therapy, and other eligible services. Where an insurer and the clinician qualify for direct billing, our office may submit claims on your behalf. We can also provide suitable receipts for patients who need to submit claims themselves.

How Funding Works  

Before booking, check your benefit plan for the exact practitioner type, maximums and required documents. Tell Allied Therapy your insurer and preferred service. Our team can advise whether direct billing is available for the clinician and plan, but the insurer makes the final coverage decision. Clients remain responsible for amounts not paid by insurance.

Who Can Access or Refer 

Individuals, parents and caregivers, referring providers and anyone with employer or individual extended health benefits.
