FAQs

You have questions, we have answers!

My child doesn’t have an Autism diagnosis yet. Can we still seek supports?

Absolutely. Northern Star is passionate about spreading awareness that a diagnosis is not required to begin intervention services. We have started with many families in a private pay model as they complete their journey with diagnosis and transition seamlessly to FSCD funded services via our direct billing.

I don’t have an FSCD contract, but I still want services. How can I get it?

Additional funding options are also available including Jordan’s Principle for First Nations and Indigenous community members. Typical health plans such as Blue Cross and SunLife do not cover ABA Intervention at this time in the province of Alberta.

Yes! Northern Star is proud to be a vendor with FSCD and can direct bill for ALL contract types including Specialized Services, BDS, and Family Managed.
