Will work benefits reimburse a psychologist ADHD assessment in BC?

Work benefits in British Columbia may reimburse a psychologist ADHD assessment if your group booklet lists that provider and service, but they will not automatically pay every invoice, and MSP will not pay the psychologist. MSP covers medically required physician services, not private psychological testing. Extended health is a private contract that may treat the assessment like other psychology visits, may require a physician referral you cannot get if you are unattached, or may exclude assessments. Dollar maximums and coinsurance apply even when the fee looks modest. Coverage varies by province. Rules, coverage and referral pathways vary by province and can change; confirm the current position with the relevant institution or provincial program.

This is only my personal experience with B.C. work benefits, not a standard for anyone else. I saw a local psychologist for an ADHD assessment, paid at the time, and my group plan reimbursed the psychology benefit up to my remaining maximum. A coworker was denied because their plan called it educational testing. I am not saying every workplace plan will reimburse.
