Veterans Program
Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) Coverage
Some Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) members may have coverage for eligible medical services through Blue Cross Medavie. Coverage decisions are made by VAC and its insurers and are subject to their policies and approval processes.
Toronto Ketamine Clinic can assist VAC members by providing required clinical documentation and coordinating with referring clinicians, where appropriate, to support coverage inquiries.
Typically, this process involves:
- Obtaining a referral from a psychiatrist or primary care provider, and
- Submitting the referral to TKC for clinical review.
Coverage is not guaranteed and remains subject to VAC and insurer determination.
Veterans Discount Program
For veterans who are not eligible for VAC coverage, Toronto Ketamine Clinic offers a 10% reduction on clinic treatment fees for qualifying veterans. This program applies to clinic fees only and does not imply clinical suitability or treatment outcomes.
Please contact the clinic for additional details regarding eligibility.
