- Is chiropractic care covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?
- In Alberta, AHCIP provides limited coverage for chiropractic services for seniors (65+) and dependents (under 18), often covering a set number of visits or a maximum dollar amount per benefit year, usually with a co-payment. For most adults, AHCIP generally does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. Patients are advised to check their current AHCIP limits and consult their private insurance providers for additional coverage options.
- What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?
- Chiropractic care helps your body move and function better. Your Chiropractor assesses your spine and joints for restrictions or misalignments that may cause pain or nerve interference. Through gentle adjustments and treatments, chiropractic care aims to improve mobility, reduce pain, and support your overall health, enabling you to enjoy daily activities more fully.
- Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a Chiropractor in AB?
- Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Alberta, meaning you can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private insurance plans may require a doctor’s referral for reimbursement purposes. It’s best to verify your individual insurance policy for specific requirements.
- How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?
- If you are experiencing pain, stiffness, or dysfunction related to your spine, muscles, joints, or nerves—such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, or joint problems—chiropractic care may be very beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation allows Dr. Rauch to perform a thorough assessment and discuss your health goals to determine if chiropractic treatment is suitable for you or if another approach might be more appropriate.
