St Canadians: Are mental disorders covered under Canada's universal health coverage? -- nm - Inigo Apr 8, 06:22 6
- varies from province to province. if it's clinical, then yes. if it's not, then maybe. psychologists were at least partly covered in alberta when - mafic Apr 8, 06:58
- I don't think that visits to psychologists are covered nor psychiatrists (even though they are MDs). I don't know that happens for stays at MH hospita - zork Apr 8, 06:34 4
  - i believe *psychiatrists* are, if referred by your physician. And, if you admitted to a hospital, you are covered. -- nm - Andie Apr 8, 06:35 3
    - Andie is right......if refered to by a family physican many other medical practioners are covered by OHIP.... - Walt_Disney Apr 8, 06:42
    - the referral would make the difference because it would be "medically necessary" -- nm - zork Apr 8, 06:38

- not if they want to keep kosher. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 07:28

  - labels are funny things... - znufrii Apr 8, 07:03
