What is Direct Billing Insurance for Psychotherapy & Counselling ?
Direct billing is a service where your therapist submits your session invoice directly to your insurance provider on your behalf. Instead of paying out of pocket and waiting to be reimbursed, the financial transaction is handled between your therapist and the insurance company. This means fewer forms, no upfront stress, and more energy left for your actual healing.
At Abloom Therapy and Wellness, direct billing for psychotherapy & counselling is currently available through Sarah Pirrotta, our Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. Sarah is approved to direct bill with a wide range of major insurance providers, meaning you can access high-quality therapy while keeping out-of-pocket costs as low as possible.
It's important to note that coverage for Psychotherapy varies by plan. We encourage you to review your benefits before booking and to check with your provider about what is covered. If your plan doesn't cover 100% of the session cost, you pay the remaining balance owing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Sarah offers direct billing for online psychotherapy & counselling sessions, available to clients across Ontario. If your plan covers virtual psychotherapy, direct billing applies the same way as an in-person session.
Coverage for Psychotherapy varies widely by plan, so it is your responsibility to check your benefits before booking. Contact your benefits provider directly, ask specifically about "Psychotherapy by a Registered Psychotherapist (RP)," and confirm your eligible amount and any annual limits. Our team is happy to answer questions as best we can.
Direct billing approval is tied to a therapist's registration status. Sarah is a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) in “independent practice” status with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), which is the status credential most insurance companies require to approve provider direct billing. Other therapists at Abloom are not currently approved, and Sarah is not permitted to direct bill on their behalf.
You can still access therapy and submit the receipt to your insurer for reimbursement. Most benefit plans that cover Registered Psychotherapists will process manual claims. Contact us and we can provide any documentation you need.
