Employer, EAP and HMO benefits

My benefit didn't apply and I was charged

Covered bookings fail silently when something doesn't match. Check your email, your status and your allowance.

Updated 9 October 20262 min readBy the Mytherapist.ng support team

If you expected your employer to cover a session but checkout showed the normal price, one of the eligibility checks didn't pass. The app doesn't show an error for this; it simply shows the regular payment list. The most common cause is that your account email doesn't match the email your organisation registered.

Work through these in order

What you seeLikely causeWhat to do
No "You have benefits" card on HomeDifferent email, not yet enrolled, or invite not acceptedLog in with the email HR registered. Confirm with HR that you're active. Accept any pending invite
No therapists appearYour plan isn't linked to any therapists yetTell HR or contact support. It's a setup gap, not a lack of availability
Checkout shows Wallet, My HMO and cards instead of "Pay through [your organisation]"Allowance used up this cycle, therapy type not covered (for example couples on an individual-only plan), or the therapist isn't in your planTry an in-plan therapist or an individual session, wait for your allowance to reset, or pay yourself
You were charged but expected coverageCoverage is decided at checkout, and one of the checks above failedContact support with the appointment details

The email check

Your organisation adds you as a beneficiary by email, and the benefit links to the account with that exact email. A different email means no link and no benefit, with no error message. Ask HR which email they used, then log in with that one. If you need to change the email on your account, see Change your email, phone or name.

Refunds on covered sessions

When a covered session is cancelled or refunded, the money goes back to whoever paid: your organisation's wallet, not your personal wallet.

Still charged

Message support with the appointment details, the email on your account and the email HR has on file for you. In the app, open Settings → Chat with Support. A person replies Mon–Sat, 9am–5pm WAT.

You don't have to untangle this yourself. Send the details and we'll follow up with the people who manage your company's plan.
