FEES & SERVICES
Cost & Coverage of Services
-
My services as a speech-language pathologist are not covered by OHIP. However, the majority of private insurance companies which provide extended health care coverage will reimburse all or part of the fee charged. I advise you to consult your Insurance Benefits Booklet, or to ask your insurance company about coverage.

My fee for individual assessment is $250.00 for 90 minutes. My fee for treatment sessions is $165.00/60 minutes. The Speech-Language & Audiology Canada (SAC) recommends a maximum rate of $231.00 for 60 minutes of speech-language therapy services. Please note that I reserve one clinical hour for each client; 45-50 minutes of which is spent with you and your child. The remaining 10-15 minutes are used to complete notes, treatment plans, consultation, etc. If I am ever late I will try to let you know in advance, even if the delay is just a few minutes.​

Based on the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA)'s 2022 Automobile Allowance Rate, a travel fee may be applicable to services provided. The recommended mileage rate is $0.68/km for the first 5,000 kms driven; $0.62/km for the kms driven after that.

My fee for formal written reports, letters, or consultation with other professionals is also $165.00/hour. All payments are to be made by cash/electronic transfer or cheque. Please note that my fees are subject to change at any time. I will inform you of such a change at least 30 days in advance.
Payment

It is policy that clients pay for their session as soon as they receive the session invoice OR at the end of the session if paying by cheque.
-
After each session, I will provide a paid invoice following full receipt of payment. This paid invoice can be submitted either directly to your insurance company or through your employer. If necessary, I will sign any document that is required for submission to your insurance company.
-
I do not accept payment directly from the insurance company or submit your claim on your behalf.
