Occupational Therapy Coverage for Psychotherapy and Mental Health Services

Representatives from OSOT, including members of the Adult Mental Health Team’s Extended Benefits Subcommittee (AMH-EBS), met with the Director of Product Development and Training - Underwriting, Claims & Health Service Offer, and the Product Director of Desjardins Insurance to discuss occupational therapy coverage for psychotherapy and mental health services. Desjardins clarified that when a client has psychotherapy coverage, an OT with a psychotherapy title can bill for psychotherapy services.
