SaskADHD · STG Health
NIHB and other funding routes.
The clinic can help clarify eligibility, authorization and billing for the service you are considering.
What may be covered
Coverage follows the approved care plan
The exact authorization depends on the requested service and NIHB decision.
Psychotherapy
Individual and group care
Approved counselling and psychotherapy may be provided without client payment at the point of service.
Screening and intake
Clinical entry process
The $40 screening may be included when approved as part of the funded pathway.
Assessment
Defined diagnostic hours
A set number of hours may be available for intake and assessment; the clinic confirms the applicable authorization.
Funding pathway
How direct billing is established
The clinic keeps the funding process separate from the clinical decision about which service is appropriate.

Submit the secure intake
Provide status information, clinical concerns and the service being requested.
02
Confirm eligibility and authorization
The clinic gathers or verifies the information needed for NIHB approval.

Extended health benefits
Many plans cover eligible psychotherapy, assessment or group services, sometimes through TELUS eClaims.
Third-party funding
Other approved payers
Victims Services, Co-operators or another program may apply depending on the client and service.
Self-pay
Income-based psychotherapy
Private psychotherapy rates range from $150 to $225 per session, with fees clarified before treatment.
NIHB questions
Common funding clarifications
Does NIHB cover every SaskADHD service?
Not automatically. Coverage depends on eligibility, authorization, clinical purpose and current NIHB rules.
Do I pay and submit receipts later?
For approved direct-billed services, STG bills NIHB. The clinic explains any service not included before it is provided.
Can I start before approval?
Funded care generally requires authorization first. Private payment is a separate choice and should be discussed explicitly.
Does coverage guarantee a place in a group?
No. Diagnosis, safety, clinical eligibility and cohort availability still determine admission.
Clarify coverage before committing
Ask which service and hours have been authorized, whether direct billing is established, and whether any proposed work falls outside the approval. If authorization is pending, clarify the next step before booking funded care or choosing private payment.
Clarify the funding question.
Ask the clinic about the information needed and the available options.
