We are flexible with our invoicing and payment options.
Private Pay – Methods of payment
- Preauthorized Debit – with a void cheque and a signature, you authorize your invoiced amount to be debited from your bank account.
- Credit Card Payment – we accept Visa and MasterCard
- Cheque – upon receipt of your invoice, you can send your payment by cheque through Canada Post.
You can specify to have the invoice sent out by your preferred method:
How does billing work?
We bill for services already rendered. Invoices with a total of under $800 in four weeks will be sent out every four weeks. Invoices with a total of over $400 in two weeks will be invoiced every two weeks. The invoice is due upon receipt. We have many clients who authorize us to directly debit their bank account, or bill their major credit card for every invoice. To begin services, we collect a service deposit. This service deposit equals the amount of two weeks worth of services and is fully refunded when we are no longer providing care. If there is an outstanding balance at the end of services, we deduct it from the deposit.
Payment Assistance for our services:
Blue Cross
Medi-Blue Benefits include coverage for assisted care services provided by a person regularly employed as a professional health care aid, home care worker, or homemaker (not a relative) when prescribed by the attending physician. Payment is limited to $40 per day, to a maximum of 14 days per illness or injury.
