Alberta Blue Cross may recognize ACCT counsellors, but they cautioned that only a small number of their policies cover clinical counsellors. Most of their policies specify coverage through a psychologist or social worker and you would not be covered in those cases. 

The Alberta School Employee Benefit Plan has added ACCT to their approved association's list, and they will cover the services of counsellors holding ACCT designations of RTC, MTC, RCS. 

ClaimSecure has added ACCT to their approved association's list. Please ensure your client's policy covers "counsellors", if the policy states "clinical counsellors" you will not be covered.  Claimsecure distinguishes between therapeutic and clinical counsellors.

Equitable Life of Canada is accepting all ACCT designations for those with their registration in good standing.

Green Shield Canada will cover ACCT members for plans that cover clinical counsellors. 

iA Financial Group (Industrial Alliance Insurance and Financial Services Inc.) has accepted the ACCT as an eligible association. 

Manitoba Blue Cross has confirmed that they will cover the services of counsellors holding ACCT designations of RTC, MTC, RCS if it is a counselling plan.

Pacific Blue Cross has agreed to reimburse clients for the services of counsellors holding any ACCT designation (RTC, MTC, RCS) for plans that cover the services of clinical counsellors. 

Sun Life has added ACCT to its approved association's list, however for your services to be reimbursed the terms of your client’s policy must state that Counselling or Psychotherapy are covered.
