NIHB Direct Billing
At Good Medicine Wellness, we are proud to offer direct billing for the Non Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) program for mental health counselling services. This allows eligible First Nations and Inuit clients to receive therapy without paying upfront for covered sessions. Our team submits claims directly to NIHB on your behalf, making the process simple and stress free.
What is the NIHB Program?
The Non Insured Health Benefits program provides eligible First Nations and Inuit clients with coverage for a range of essential health services that are not covered by other insurance plans. For mental health services, NIHB offers funding for counselling and psychotherapy provided by approved service providers.
How NIHB Direct Billing Works
When you book a session at Good Medicine Wellness, let us know that you are covered under NIHB. We will confirm your eligibility and submit your claim directly to the NIHB program. This means you will not need to pay out of pocket for sessions that are covered under your benefits.
Our administrative team is experienced with NIHB billing and can guide you through each step to make accessing care as smooth as possible.

- Individual counselling sessions
