How can our clinic help you, your loved one, or your patient?
The Neurospark Clinic is a private clinic. We provide services that are not covered by the Newfoundland Medical System (MCP). This means that our services are fee for service. However, some insurance companies and government programs (e.g., Jordan's Principle) do cover our services so please contact your private health insurer or government program to determine if coverage for psychological services is available.
