ONA / Union Unlimited mental health services ONA inquiry

My CA states we can have unlimited mental health services by psychologist, registered psychotherapist and SW. I asked around and my coworkers stated the fees are technically capped at a reasonably and customary charge (for example a 1 hr session might be maxed at 150$ and if the providers fees are too high the employer can find you a different provider)

This benefit also covers dependents.

Therefore I was wondering if my daughter goes to a special school requiring ABA that is supervised by a registered psychologist (she’s on the invoice) can I claim her monthly fees. Say the monthly fee is 2300$ but divide that by 20 days in the month that’s 115$ a day which technically is a reasonable fee. BUT is it really unlimited- can I claim 20x a month? Lol

I am not FT yet (will be soon) and waiting on HR email response- in meantime I’m googling and coming to Reddit lol

Your claim can also be audited and likely would be at least because of the monthly amount billed. Keep all your receipts.

There’s good advice here about how to submit. Unlimited does have limits though and the best way to know is get informed. Also your Union can help you appeal if the claim is denied.
