Did you know we offer direct billing through some insurance companies?

By providing us with your insurance details, we can submit a pre-determination on your behalf to see what your insurance covers!

✔ less out of pocket expense
✔ quick and convenient
✔ no submitting claims
✔ less stress

While we’re happy to make things easier for you, every insurance policy is different – so coverage isn’t guaranteed. Be sure to check with your provider to confirm your benefits.

Contact us today if you want to learn more!

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we reflect on the impact of residential schools and honour the Survivors, their families, and the children who never returned home.

This day is a reminder of our shared responsibility to listen, learn, and contribute to the ongoing work of reconciliation.
