ICBC counselling funding | No Fear Counselling » No Fear Counselling
If you have been in an accident and have an open claim with ICBC, and have either a claim number, or are already working with a lawyer, you are most likely eligible for Part 7 psychological support funding for counselling therapy. We have worked with almost 500 ICBC cases, and have fought for our clients to receive the necessary support required to bring them back to where they were before their accidents.
To find out more, call 778-288-8361, or email ofir@nofearcounselling.com and we will find you the counsellor that will meet your needs.

Since the inception of ICBC, the amount of the Part 7 coverage has been increased and currently is set at a maximum of $150,000; for a passenger in a taxi or in a commercial bus, the limit is higher.
As will be described later in this guide, the amount of the total coverage can actually exceed $150,000. This $150,000 is in addition to the coverage provided by the BC Hospital Plan for hospital treatment and in addition to the coverage provided by the Medical Services Plan for medical treatment.
Part 7 provides for up to $150,000 to pay for medical and rehabilitation expenses. While this amount is more than enough for most claims, when an individual suffers very severe injuries, the Part 7 fund may not be enough. When that is the case, it is very important to ensure that no Part 7 funds are used to repay the Medical Service Plan (MSP) for treatment from doctors or therapists. While the regulations specifically say that Part 7 cannot be used when the MSP is available to pay, ICBC routinely pays MSP out of the part 7 fund. If or when this occurs, ICBC, if asked, will credit the Part 7 fund for those MSP payments – which brings the Part 7 fund back up to where it should have been.
If an injured person cannot do their own job, they are entitled to receive TTDs for a period of 2 years after the accident. Beyond 2 years, they are entitled to continue TTDs only if they cannot do any job that they would be suited for based on their age, education, and experience. These TTDs beyond 2 years are only payable up to the age of 65. With TTD benefits beyond 2 years, ICBC can require the injured person to apply for CPP disability benefits and, if CPP is received, the amount of the TTDs is reduced by the amount of CPP being received. The amount of wage/TTD benefits paid by ICBC does not come out of the $150,000 Part 7 coverage. TTDs are paid in addition to the $150,000.
