We can help you understand whether you may be eligible for funding, what approval is needed and how billing works.
What may be covered
The exact authorization depends on the requested service and NIHB decision.
Psychotherapy
Approved counselling and psychotherapy may be provided without client payment at the point of service.
Screening and intake
The initial ADHD screening is fee-exempt for NIHB-eligible clients. This exemption is separate from funding for further assessment or treatment; the clinic confirms eligibility and any required authorisation before funded care begins.
Assessment
A set number of hours may be available for intake and assessment; the clinic confirms the applicable authorization.
Funding pathway
The clinic keeps the funding process separate from the clinical decision about which service is appropriate.
01
Provide status information, clinical concerns and the service being requested.
02
The clinic gathers or verifies the information needed for NIHB approval.
03
Funding approval does not automatically make every program clinically appropriate.
04
STG bills NIHB directly for authorized services and tracks the approved hours.
What to have ready
Having these details ready can help us check your funding and reduce the need to ask you for more information.
Identity
Provide the name, date of birth and status or treaty information used for NIHB eligibility.
Clinical
Describe the main ADHD, sleep, parenting or mental health concern and current supports.
Practical
Confirm that you are located in Saskatchewan and can attend secure video appointments.
Other coverage
STG Health / Chris de Feijter is an approved Métis Nation–Saskatchewan (MN–S) mental health provider. Under the Métis Mental Wellness Program, eligible registered Métis citizens age 13+ may receive up to $2,400 per program year for approved counselling and mental health assessment services. Youth ages 13–21 seeking assessment funding must first apply through the Youth Wellness Program, which provides up to $2,000 per program year for approved specialized supports; counselling is not covered under the Youth Wellness Program and instead uses the Métis Mental Wellness Program. Both programs use direct billing after approval, and other available insurance or benefits must be used first.

Coverage depends on your plan, clinician and service. NIHB and Victims Services require eligibility and authorization. Logos do not guarantee coverage or imply endorsement.
Private insurance
Many plans cover eligible psychotherapy, assessment or group services, sometimes through TELUS eClaims.
Third-party funding
Victims Services, Co-operators or another program may apply depending on the client and service.
Self-pay
Private psychotherapy rates range from $150 to $225 per session, with fees clarified before treatment.
NIHB questions
Not automatically. Coverage depends on eligibility, authorization, clinical purpose and current NIHB rules.
For approved direct-billed services, STG bills NIHB. The clinic explains any service not included before it is provided.
Initial ADHD screening is free for NIHB-eligible clients. Further funded assessment or treatment requires confirmation of eligibility and any necessary authorisation before it begins. Private payment for later services is a separate choice to discuss with the clinic.
No. Diagnosis, safety, clinical eligibility and cohort availability still determine admission.
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.
Ask the clinic about the information needed and the available options.
