Do I need a referral?

A physician referral is not necessary.  You can contact the clinic directly if you are interested in seeing Dr. Sarina Kot.

A few extended health plans may require a physician referral for reimbursement of psychological services, so we encourage you to check with your extended health plan first.

Although a physician referral is not necessary, referrals from physicians, schools, or other healthcare professionals are accepted.

Is this covered by my extended health benefits?

Many extended health insurance plans provide coverage for psychological services.

Contact your extended benefits provider to learn more about your specific plan.

When talking to your provider, it might be helpful to ask the following questions:

  • How much coverage is each family member entitled each year?

  • Is a referral from my family physician necessary?


Are the fees for psychological services tax deductible?
