In Ontario, access to mental health care is more important than ever.
At This Thing Called Grief, we understand the importance of supporting employees' well-being through accessible and stress-free mental health services. To make this possible, we proudly offer direct billing with major Canadian insurance companies and benefit providers.
This means that eligible clients can use their employer health benefits without the hassle of upfront payments or reimbursement processes.
Who We Work With
Thanks to our partnerships with leading insurance and benefit providers across Canada, including Canada Life, Manulife, Desjardins, and many more, we can help employees navigate their mental health journey more easily.
By directly billing these providers, we simplify the process, so you can focus on healing and growth rather than worrying about costs.
Why Direct Billing Matters for Mental Health Care
Mental health support is essential, but the added financial burden can deter people from seeking the help they need. Direct billing removes that obstacle by connecting directly with your insurance provider, making it possible to access care without worrying about upfront costs.
Through direct billing, we're able to work with a wide range of insurers who provide mental health benefits, allowing you to make the most of your employer-provided benefits.
This process can ease the financial strain and give you one less thing to worry about.
How It Works
- Check Your Coverage: Start by reviewing your insurance plan to confirm the extent of your mental health coverage. Some areas of focus are:
-
Do you need a referral from a doctor?
-
Does your insurance cover BSW and or MSW?
-
Do you have a Healthcare Spending Account?
-
Insurance providers and benefit providers are one in the same.
- Contact Us: When you book a session, let us know that you'd like us to directly bill your provider.
- Focus on Care: We handle the billing process, so all you need to do is show up and focus on your healing.
