Some health insurance plans will provide partial or full
reimbursement for stress management, relaxation skills training, or
biofeedback
programs provided by the Stress Management and High Performance Clinic.
OHIP does not provide coverage for these services. If you have health insurance coverage in addition to OHIP, inquire about the possibility of reimbursement. Past participants at the Stress Management and High Performance Clinic have been reimbursed by such companies as the Co-Operators, Economical, Economical Mutual, C.U.M.B.A., Metropolitan Life, London Life, and Sun Life.
NOTE : Keep in mind that each individual policy is different.
In addition, some health plans from companies such as Great West
Life, Manulife, Mutual Life, Confederation Life, Canada Life, London
Life, Green Shield, and Blue Cross will cover stress management,
relaxation skills training or biofeedback only if it is provided by a
registered and licensed psychologist.
Kathy Somers is a certified kinesiologist who is certified in Stress
Management Education, and is certified in biofeedback from the
Biofeedback Certification Institute of America (BCIA). BCIA is the
oldest and best established biofeedback certification program, the one
recognized by the American Psychology Association (APA), and requested
as the credential of choice by medical credentialing organizations and
insurance companies for reimbursement of various biofeedback modalities.
If your extended health plan will provide coverage for services offered by the Stress Management and High Performance Clinic, submit your receipts from the Clinic to your health plan carrier for reimbursement.
