Yes. Protecting your personal information is something we take very seriously at GMS. We choose partners who share this commitment. GMS Care Network is offered through GreenShield Canada. You can find more information about their information and data security here.

How many counselling sessions do I get?

Each person covered under your plan gets up to 25 hours of counselling and coaching. This includes five hours of individual counselling, five hours of couples counseling, and five hours for three different types of coaching: health, life or transition, and career. Plus, you get unlimited 30-minute legal and financial consultations.

I’m not happy with my counsellor. Can I switch?

You sure can. It’s important that you feel comfortable with your provider. If that’s not the case, you can unmatch yourself and try someone else.

If I hit my maximum number of sessions, can I stay on with my counsellor and pay as I go?

Yes, you can. You may also be able to submit your receipts for reimbursement as part of your GMS insurance plan. Contact us to find out your available benefits and provider eligibility.

I already have a counsellor. Can I see them through the GMS Care Network?

Absolutely, if your therapist or counsellor is already a provider or is associated with the GMS Care Network. If not, we’re happy to refer you to someone who is. We can also send you instructions for joining our network that you can share with your therapist or counsellor.
