How Direct Billing Works
Direct billing allows us to submit eligible claims directly to your insurance company after your therapy session.
If your claim is approved, your insurance provider will pay the covered portion directly to us.
Depending on your plan, you may be responsible for any portion of your session fee not covered by your insurance,
If your insurer does not cover the full amount, you'll simply pay the remaining balance through our secure payment portal.
Do you offer direct billing for couples therapy?
Many insurance plans cover psychotherapy regardless of whether you're attending as an individual or as part of a couple.
However, coverage depends on your specific insurance policy.
If you're unsure whether your plan covers couples therapy, we recommend asking your insurance provider:
Is couples therapy eligible for reimbursement?
What is my annual psychotherapy coverage?
Is direct billing available?
We're happy to answer questions about our services, but only your insurance provider can confirm your individual benefits.
What If We Can't Direct Bill Your Insurance?
If we don't currently direct bill your insurance provider, don't worry.
After each session, you'll receive a detailed receipt that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Many insurance plans allow clients to submit claims online through their member portal or mobile app.
Coverage Varies by Plan
Every insurance plan is different.
Some plans:
Cover 100% of psychotherapy fees.
Cover a percentage of each session.
Have annual spending limits.
Require a deductible before reimbursement begins.
Require services to be provided by a Registered Psychotherapist.
Even if you and someone else have insurance through the same provider, your coverage may differ depending on your employer or policy.
Why Clients Appreciate Direct Billing
Direct billing can help make therapy more accessible by reducing upfront costs and simplifying the reimbursement process.
Benefits include:
Less paperwork
Faster claim processing
Lower out-of-pocket expenses (depending on your coverage)
Convenient payment experience
More time to focus on your mental health instead of insurance claims
Virtual Therapy Covered by Insurance
Many insurance providers cover virtual psychotherapy the same way they cover in-person sessions.
Lovebird Couples Therapy Ontario provides secure virtual therapy, allowing you to attend sessions from the comfort of your home anywhere in Ontario. We also offer virtual therapy in most Canadian provinces and territories (excluding New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island).
Virtual therapy provides the same professional care while eliminating travel time and making therapy more accessible for busy individuals and couples.
Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? Take a look at our general FAQ or contact us anytime. If you’re feeling ready, go ahead and apply.
-
No. While we can submit claims directly to participating insurance providers, claim approval always depends on your individual insurance policy and available benefits.
-
In many cases, approval is received almost immediately. Occasionally, an insurer may require additional review, which can delay processing. Your therapist will keep you informed throughout the process.
-
You'll simply be responsible for paying any remaining balance not covered by your insurance provider. At Lovebird Couples Therapy Ontario, we accept all major credit cards and e-transfer for payment.
-
Unfortunately, we cannot verify the details of your benefits. Your insurance company is the best source for information about your psychotherapy coverage, deductibles, and annual maximums.
-
Yes. You'll receive a detailed receipt for every session. If direct billing isn't available or your insurer requires additional documentation, you can use your receipt to submit your own claim.
