DID YOU KNOW...
Individuals involved in a Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) MAY be eligible for reimbursement of fees (under Section B of your car insurance) for Psychological Services up to 2 years after a Motor Vehicle Accident!
These can be accessed AFTER private health care benefits have been exhausted and an Explanation Of Benefits (EOB) have been provided to Healthy Minds Psychology and your car insurance agent.
If you do not have any private benefits then Section B can be accessed right away!
You will also need a referral note from a medical doctor recommending psychological services.
We will go over this process with you and answer any questions you may have!

Some more information on Section B
Section B benefits are known as “no-fault” benefits, meaning that your right to claim them does not depend on whether or not you were at fault for the automobile accident that caused your injuries. These benefits cover certain expenses related to medical treatments and disability, -including services such as psychology.
The owner (typically you) of an Alberta automobile insurance policy has paid for Section B Benefits as part of their insurance premiums.
If you have an Alberta automobile insurance policy, and were injured in an automobile accident (car, truck, motorcycle, etc.), you are entitled to Section B Benefits. Your own automobile insurance company will typically, but not always, be the source of these benefits.
Will Making a Bodily Injury Claim Affect My Insurance Rates?
It’s a common concern:
“If I make a health or bodily injury claim, will my insurance premiums go up?”
The good news is—in most cases, no.
Increases in insurance rates are typically tied to vehicle damage and fault, not the healthcare portion of the claim. The coverage for psychological or medical treatment is available under provincial legislation and is meant to support your recovery. Using this benefit should not impact your premium, as it’s not considered a fault-based claim.
If you're unsure, it's always a good idea to check directly with your provider—but rest assured, your right to treatment is protected.
