Your questions, answered
How do I claim my Medavie Blue Cross insurance for therapy?
In Canada, you typically pay for your session upfront and then submit a claim for reimbursement. Use the Medavie Blue Cross app or member portal to submit your receipt. Make sure your receipt includes the provider's name, professional title, registration number, date of service, and amount paid. You can see eligible providers like therapists and social workers here on Promptd.
Which mental health professionals are eligible under Medavie Blue Cross?
Medavie Blue Cross typically covers services from certified therapists, social workers, occupational therapists who are members of their Canadian or provincial associations, and psychotherapists who are members of the Ordre des psychologues du Quebec. You can also see supervised therapists-in-training, as their supervisor issues the receipt under their own professional license.
Does my provider need to be pre-registered with Blue Cross?
No. Your provider does not need to be pre-registered with Blue Cross for you to be reimbursed. As long as the provider is properly licensed (e.g., psychologist, social worker, psychotherapist) and the service is covered under your plan, you can submit the claim yourself. That said, providers who are registered with Blue Cross may mean fewer claim issues and faster reimbursement.
Do I need to pay upfront for mental health services?
Yes, in most cases you need to pay upfront. In Canada, mental health providers usually do not bill insurance directly. You pay the provider first, then submit the receipt to Medavie Blue Cross to get reimbursed. Direct billing is uncommon for therapy and assessments. To save on costs, consider seeing a supervised therapist-in-training. Their supervisor issues the receipt under their own professional license, and their rates are often significantly lower.
Does Medavie Blue Cross cover psychological assessments?
Yes, many Medavie Blue Cross plans cover psychological assessments such as ADHD assessments or autism assessments evaluations. In Quebec, only licensed psychologists are authorized to provide diagnoses and psychological evaluations. Check your specific plan for coverage limits on assessments.
What does Medavie Blue Cross cover for mental health?
Coverage varies by plan, but most Medavie Blue Cross plans reimburse sessions with registered psychologists, social workers, and psychotherapists up to an annual cap. Some plans also cover occupational therapy, speech therapy, and psychological assessments. Check your benefit booklet or member portal for your specific coverage limits, eligible provider types, and whether a referral is required.
Are Blue Cross and Medavie the same?
Medavie Blue Cross is one of several regional Blue Cross organizations in Canada. It primarily serves Atlantic Canada (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, Newfoundland) and also administers plans in Ontario, Quebec, and other provinces through employer and government contracts. Other provinces have their own Blue Cross organizations, such as Alberta Blue Cross or Pacific Blue Cross, which operate independently.
Does Medavie Blue Cross cover therapy for university or international students?
Yes, in many cases. Several Canadian universities use Medavie Blue Cross for their student health plans, including plans for international students. Coverage typically includes sessions with psychologists and social workers up to an annual limit. Check your student union or university benefits page for your specific plan details, eligible providers, and claim process.
