Provincial plans, extended benefits & Health Spending Accounts — explained 🇨🇦
Hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) is not covered by provincial health insurance in Canada (OHIP, MSP, AHCIP, RAMQ, etc.). Whether an employer Health Spending Account or extended health benefits plan will reimburse it depends on your plan, and reimbursement is not guaranteed. Confirm with your insurer or plan administrator before purchasing.
Provincial and territorial health plans cover services deemed medically necessary. HTMA is an elective test you choose to order, and provincial plans do not cover it. This is the case across the country:
A Health Spending Account — sometimes called a Health Care Spending Account — is an employer-provided benefit administered under your plan's rules. It is not the same as a US Health Savings Account, and it is usually claimed by submitting your receipt through your plan administrator. Your plan decides what counts as an eligible expense, and eligibility is not guaranteed.
Extended health benefits vary by plan. Some plans reimburse certain laboratory tests; others do not, or set conditions on who orders or provides a service. Coverage for HTMA is not guaranteed:
The Canada Revenue Agency sets the rules for the medical expense tax credit, including which expenses and which practitioners qualify. Eligibility of an HTMA test purchased from us is not guaranteed. We can't give tax advice — please ask a tax adviser about your situation before relying on a claim.

We provide itemized receipts documenting purchases. Our receipt is a purchase receipt from a testing storefront — it is not from a medical clinic or a licensed practitioner, and it does not carry billing codes, provider numbers or medical orders. Insurance reimbursement and eligibility for health spending arrangements or medical tax credits are not guaranteed. Confirm the requirements for the specific service directly with your insurer, plan administrator or tax adviser before purchasing. The legal seller of your order is identified before payment and on your receipt.
If you intend to claim, confirm with your plan before purchasing. Laboratory results are typically sent to us 10–14 days after the lab receives your sample.
