Acupuncture is covered under certain extended health plans - ask your employer if acupuncture is covered for you.
Direct Billing
Good news! We offer direct billing for both acupuncture and massage therapy treatments.
We are registered providers for all the major insurance companies, including Medavie Blue Cross, Telus Health, Sun Life, Green Shield, Canada Life, Desjardins, just to name a few.
All you have to do is bring in your insurance information with you to your appointment, and we’ll set everything up for you. If you’d like to know in advance how many treatments your insurance will cover, and if you have any co-pay amounts, please get in touch with your insurance company directly.
Cancellation Policy
Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the therapists’ day that could have been filled by another patient. As such, we require 24 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Patients who provide less than 24 hours notice, or miss their appointment, will be charged a $40 cancellation fee. (Please note, no cancellations fees are charged if you need to cancel because of sickness - stay home if you are not feeling well!)
