Is chiropractic care covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?

In Alberta, the AHCIP provides limited coverage for chiropractic services primarily for seniors aged 65 and over, as well as dependents under 18. Coverage typically includes a set number of visits or a maximum dollar amount per benefit year, often requiring a co-payment. For other adults, AHCIP generally does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. Patients are advised to verify their current coverage limits and consult their private insurance plans for additional coverage.

What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?

Chiropractic is a healthcare profession focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system, primarily the spine, and their effects on overall health. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation (adjustments) and other manual therapies, as well as exercise and lifestyle counseling, to relieve pain, restore function, and support the body's natural healing process. It can be beneficial for issues such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint problems in the arms or legs.

Does Airdrie Chiropractic offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Airdrie Chiropractic offers direct billing to most major private insurance providers such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, and others. Patients are encouraged to bring their insurance cards and verify their specific plan coverage with their insurer, as coverage amounts and policies vary. Patients remain responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in AB?

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Alberta, meaning patients can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should check their individual insurance policies to confirm any such 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 extremity joint issues—chiropractic care may be very beneficial. It is recommended to schedule an initial consultation where Dr. Jomaa can perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate for your condition or if another approach might be better suited.
