Occupational Therapy services are available through NS Health Authority; however, you may have a lengthy wait time to be seen.  

 

You may have coverage through extended benefits to access private Occupational Therapy services, which may cover all, or a large portion, of the assessment/sessions. 

​

The following funding sources typically cover Occupational Therapy:

  • Extended Healthcare Benefits (e.g., Blue Cross, Green Shield, SunLife, etc.)

  • Jordan’s Principle

  • Worker’s Compensation Board (WCB)

  • Auto/Motor Vehicle Insurance Plans

  • Veteran’s Affairs Canada (VAC)

  • Department of National Defence (DND)

 

If you do not have extended benefits, or have exhausted your yearly limit, we also have private pay options available. 

 

Please contact us to inquire further about our rates and for any other questions you may have. 

Payment and Travel Fees

We provide Direct Billing with Blue Cross, Green Shield and any insurance listed on Telus e-claims. For other insurance not listed, we are able to provide receipts/invoices to for you to submit your own claim.

We do not charge a travel fee for the first 15 minutes of travel to and from our location (near Westmount Elementary school). After this, a travel fee is charged but it is prorated based on the amount of time it took rounded to the nearest 10 minutes.
