Extended Health Benefits

My services may be covered by extended health benefits provided through your employer. I encourage you to contact your benefits provider, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), or Human Resources department directly to confirm whether your plan provides coverage for services provided by a Registered Social Worker (RSW).

Tax Benefits: As of September 26, 2012, counselling services provided by Registered Social Workers (RSWs) may be claimed as a medical expense tax deduction when filing your income tax return. RSWs are recognized as authorized “medical practitioners” for the purpose of claiming eligible medical expenses.
