Is Couples Therapy covered by Benefits?

Whether couples therapy, online couples therapy, or marriage counselling is covered depends on your specific workplace benefits plan or private insurance policy.

Many extended health plans cover couples therapy, but insurers often require the online couples or marriage counselling session to be provided by a specific regulated professional.

How Coverage Works

Provider credentials: 

Plans usually require the therapist to be a Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychologist, Clinical Social Worker, Registered Counselling Therapist, or Canadian Certified Counsellor.

Receipt naming: 

Many insurers accept receipts for couples counselling as long as the receipt is issued in the name of the covered plan member attending the session.

We are often approved for online couples therapy through Blue Cross Blue Shield, Pacific Blue Cross couples counselling, Manulife couples therapy, Canada Life Marriage Counselling, GreenShield couples therapy, Sun Life couples therapy, to name a few.

Canada Online Therapy offers couples therapy using EFT-C, Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples, one of the leading approaches for couples therapy.
