We Direct-Bill to Insurance!
Families already have busy schedules, and managing insurance paperwork is one more task you shouldn’t have to worry about! Embark Psychology Calgary offers direct billing to most major insurance providers, helping make the assessment process simpler from start to finish.
Direct billing means we submit eligible fees to your insurance provider on your behalf, reducing the administrative work for you and minimizing the amount you need to carry on a credit card while waiting for reimbursement. Our goal is to streamline the practical side of the process so you can spend less time managing receipts and claims, and more time focusing on understanding your child’s needs and putting the right supports in place.
Make the most of your insurance coverage, with less paperwork along the way.

Don’t See Your Insurance Provider?
Don’t Panic! We may be able to direct bill to additional insurance providers that are not listed above. If you don’t see your provider, please reach out to us and we would be happy to check whether direct billing is available for your plan. If we are unable to direct bill to your insurance provider, payment can be made by credit card and we will provide you with a detailed receipt to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Either way, we aim to make the payment and reimbursement process as straightforward as possible.
Understanding Your Coverage
Every insurance plan is a little different, even when two families have coverage through the same insurance provider. Insurance coverage varies by individual plan. Before beginning services, we recommend confirming your psychology coverage, annual maximum, and any requirements or limitations directly with your insurance provider before beginning services. Direct billing does not full guarantee coverage or payment by your insurer, and clients are responsible for any portion not covered by their plan.
Making the Most of Family Coverage
There are times that we can split the cost of assessments across different family members to help families make the most of their available insurance coverage. For example, the intake meeting and feedback meeting can be billed under a parent’s name, to reflect the time that the psychologist is spending with them. Direct assessment and testing with the student, however, must be billed under the student’s name. We are happy to discuss how different components of the assessment are billed and, where appropriate, help families coordinate their available coverage.
