Fees, insurance & claims
Green Shield and psychotherapy in Ontario.
Green Shield Canada administers many employer and association plans. Coverage for a Registered Psychotherapist is common and still not universal. We are not affiliated with Green Shield, and we cannot promise reimbursement.
What is specific to Green Shield.
- Look in the booklet for Registered Psychotherapist, not only psychologist or social worker.
- If the plan participates in TELUS eClaims, Katelyn can often submit the claim when you book with her.
- If direct billing is not available, Jane receipts include the details most plans ask for when you submit online.

Common questions about Green Shield.
Does Green Shield cover a Registered Psychotherapist?
Many Green Shield plans do. Some do not. The only reliable answer is your booklet or a call to member services. Ask for the exact title, including whether Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) is covered.
Can Anchor & Bloom direct bill Green Shield?
Only when the clinician, the Green Shield plan, and TELUS eClaims all allow it. That is currently available through Katelyn when the plan participates. We confirm when you book.
Confirm the plan, then book if the fit is right.
