COVID-19 Temporary Measures: Public Service Health Care Plan (PSHCP)
For those covered under the Canadian federal government’s health care plan, here is some news regarding being reimbursed for the fees of a psychotherapist:
“In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government of Canada implemented temporary changes to the Public Service Health Care Plan (PSHCP), effective March 24, 2020. These changes were designed to help PSHCP members and eligible dependants access health care benefits while at the same time minimizing social interaction with health care professionals. The flexibilities outlined below will remain in effect until non-critical business is authorized to resume or as indicated otherwise.”
