Our OHIP-Funded Program
Access to MD-delivered grade A treatment protocols in a virtual group format at a fraction of the cost!
Patients with insomnia, depression/anxiety, chronic headache, or chronic fatigue can now access Grade A cognitive behavioural treatment programs offered virtually in a group format under OHIP. Patients with high blood pressure, lower back pain or post-concussion syndrome can now get counselling on how to get strong again. These programs will teach you how improve your condition by addressing the root cause.
They will teach you about how your body works. They will teach you how to leverage that information in retraining how your body operates so that you have better sleep, more energy, fewer headaches, less back pain, better blood pressure and how to navigate your post-concussion recovery. Because these are OHIP-funded, savings to the patient are significant.
- Group Counselling Sessions (GCS) are covered by OHIP but some sections have some costs not that OHIP will not cover. As such, there is a fee to cover for these non-OHIP funded services for some of the group counselling sections*.
- These services are available privately usually by psychotherapists and occupational therapists for thousands of dollars.
- Even if patients were to get some additional help from one of our psychotherapists, the savings are still significant.
