Direct Billing for Therapy and Counselling
Pham Therapy offers direct billing for counselling and therapy services through TELUS eClaims, Sun Life, and Pacific Blue Cross for select insurance providers.
When available, we can submit your counselling claim directly to your insurance provider, which may cover the full or partial amount you need to pay upfront for covered sessions. This means you do not have to wait for reimbursement after your appointment.
Direct billing availability depends on your specific insurance plan and provider. Please review the list of eligible insurance providers below to confirm whether your plan qualifies for direct billing services.
