If you have been in a car accident and have a claim with ICBC, and have a claim number or are working with a lawyer, you may be eligible for psychological support funding for counselling / mental health therapy.
Do you take ICBC Customers and Claims for counselling?
Yes, we are approved to treat ICBC customers and use their official guidelines, standards and procedures to work directly with ICBC. We will support you in your overall recovery program in a stress-free and comfortable environment.
How do I apply for counselling sessions from ICBC?
We require the date of your accident, your birthdate and your ICBC claim # and your adjuster's name. In most cases, you will receive 12 sessions to be completed within 12 weeks from the accident start date.
You must immediately notify ICBC of your accident and obtain a claim number. You should also provide ICBC with a description of the accident, and a CL22-Insurance application. You can also have a personal injury lawyer support you through this process.
What if my accident was a long time ago?
If it has been more than 12 weeks since your accident, we will require a doctor’s referral indicating the need for support relating to the accident.
