FAQsInsurance CoverageMost insurance companies and extended health care plans cover a specified amount for the services of a Registered Psychologist. If you are uncertain, you can contact your provider to inquire. We will provide a receipt for your submission to your benefits company, for all other benefit plan holders.
Currently, direct billing submission for those with Alberta Blue Cross and Alberta School Employee (ASEBP) benefit plans may be available. Please check with your counsellor to confirm. BalanceWorks is also a provider for RCMP, Canadian Armed Forces, and Veteran's Affairs plans. Direct billing, per session and maximum, amounts are set by your plan. Please refer to your policy to determine these amounts. FeesServices are billed in accordance with the recommended fee schedule designated by the Psychologists' Association of Alberta.
Payment of ServicesVisa, MasterCard and Debit are accepted. Fees are to be paid in full at time of appointment.
AppointmentsCounselling services are by appointment only. Individual session length is typically 50 minutes.
Cancellations and Missed AppointmentsA counselling session requires that a significant amount of time be reserved. In order to be fair to you, your counsellor, and other clients who are needing appointments, we have a policy requiring that the regular fee be charged for appointments that are not cancelled or rescheduled, 24 hours in advance.
What to ExpectUncertainty can be stressful. Therefore, knowing what to expect can assist in understanding the counselling process at BalanceWorks. Upon attending the first session you will be asked to complete intake forms, which will provide important information to the counsellor about the reasons you have come to counselling. During the first session, discussion regarding client goals or concerns will be explored. BalanceWorks seeks to provide a comfortable environment to work towards your therapeutic goals.
