Insurance & Billing

Are your services covered by insurance?

Yes! While our services are covered by most extended health coverage plans/benefit plans, we highly encourage you to contact your insurance provider to ensure that they cover services provided by a registered social worker.

We do not need referrals from doctors, other health professionals, or your insurance provider nor do we need your health card or other documents. However, if you have medical records such as doctors note, discharge summary, or information about prescription medications, that will be helpful.

Please be informed that our services are not covered by OHIP/health card.

Does Bloom Clinical Care offer direct billing?

Yes we do! Direct billing is available for most insurances, meaning you don't pay out of pocket for anything covered under your plan! Some providers don't allow direct billing, in which case we can provide you with a receipt that you can use to get yourself reimbursed by your insurance provider.

Do you accept OHIP/health card?

No. Our services are not covered by OHIP / health card. However, our services are covered by most extended health/benefit plans. In most cases, we may be able to bill your insurance provider directly. For providers that do not offer direct billing, we can provide you with an itemized receipt that can be used to get yourself reimbursed. We strongly encourage you to contact your insurance provider to ensure that they cover services provided by a registered social worker.
