Separate phase billing

Intake, psychometric evaluation and integration are billed according to the phases you actually need.

Group programs

Defined program fees

The Signal Group is $1,140 or three payments of $400. The ADHD Sleep Reset is currently $400.

Insurance

How reimbursement usually works

Benefit plans differ in provider eligibility, annual limits, referral requirements and direct-submission rules.

01

Check provider coverage

Confirm whether your plan covers the specific clinician designation and service.

02

Ask about referral rules

Some plans require a physician referral even though SaskADHD does not.

03

Use TELUS eClaims when available

The clinic may be able to verify or submit eligible claims electronically.

04

Keep the receipt

When direct submission is unavailable, use the detailed receipt for reimbursement.

Coverage pathways

Common funding routes

Eligibility is confirmed individually; inclusion here is not a guarantee of reimbursement.

Public funding

NIHB

Eligible First Nations clients may receive approved psychotherapy and related services with direct billing.

Private plans

Extended health benefits

Many plans through major Canadian insurers provide full or partial mental health coverage.

Other payers

Program-specific funding

Victims Services, Co-operators and other third-party arrangements may apply depending on eligibility.

Pay only for the pathway used

Why the assessment is phased

A phased model avoids charging every client for the maximum process when existing information or clinical findings make a shorter route responsible.

Phase 1

Intake and clinical question

Establish the history, functional concerns, risk and exact purpose of assessment.

Phase 2

Psychometric evaluation

Complete validated measures and structured clinical evaluation when needed.

Phase 3

Integration and intervention plan

Receive feedback, written formulation and next-step recommendations.

Fee questions

What clients often ask

Are services covered by insurance?

Many are, but plans differ. Check the provider type, annual limit, referral requirements and whether group or assessment services are included.

Is NIHB automatic?

No. Eligibility and pre-approval are required. The clinic can explain the process and bill approved services directly.

Are mental health services taxed?

Qualifying psychotherapy and counselling therapy services are GST/HST exempt. The clinic will clarify any exception before billing.

Can I use a payment plan?

The Signal Group has a three-payment option. Other arrangements depend on the service and are discussed before enrolment.

Confirm coverage before care begins

Ask before you commit.

The clinic will explain the fee, likely claim route and what information your insurer may require.
