Fees and Cancellation
Dr. Neljak’s fees are consistent with the guidelines suggested by the Ontario Psychological Association and may be revised each year. The usual (50-minute hour) fee is $225 per session. Rates for assessments are calculated based on the number of hours required for completion and will be discussed during initial consultation.
Psychological services are not covered by OHIP, but they may be covered by third party health insurance (i.e., Sun Life). Most extended health plans do not offer direct payment to practitioners; once you have paid for services, you will be issued a receipt that you may submit to your insurance provider. Services not covered by an insurance plan can be claimed as a medical expense on your income tax. Cash, E-transfer, and personal cheques are accepted forms of payment. Payment is requested at the end of each appointment. There is no charge for sessions cancelled 24 or more hours prior to the scheduled time. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged the regular fee.
For individuals who have services covered through Veterans Affairs Canada or the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, Dr. Neljak will bill these providers directly. Late cancellations and no shows will be billed directly to the individual, as missed sessions are not covered by these plans.
