ICBC Subsidized Counselling
If you have been in a car accident and have reported a claim you are now automatically pre-approved for counselling. You can receive up to 12 counselling sessions within 12 weeks of your accident. Stewart & Associates invoices ICBC directly. If it has been more than 12 weeks since the date of your accident you must obtain approval from your Claims Specialist before you can schedule any counselling sessions.
There are a lot of benefits available to you in the event of a crash including counselling. It’s not uncommon for someone to feel uneasy about driving after getting into a crash. Crashes of any severity can be a traumatic event. Our Therapists are here to help you heal and get back behind the wheel.
ICBC may cover more sessions if your doctor thinks it’ll help you get better.
