I've been here before; do I have to bring my Alberta Health Care Card?

Yes. The validity of your insurance must be verified on every visit. You must be registered with the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan in order to receive publicly funded health care coverage. If you do not have your Alberta Health Care Card, but can obtain the number, our staff will ask for photo identification and validate the information with Alberta Health. This process is done to ensure that we have the correct person and the Alberta Health Care number provided is valid. This process also helps to prevent identity theft and fraud.

If you are unable to provide an Alberta Health Care number and Photo Identification, or the number cannot be validated, you may be required to pay for your visit, as well as any outstanding invoices.

To obtain a replacement card, contact Alberta Health at 780 427-1432 or visit a participating registry.

Can I get a referral to a specialist from a Medicentres physician?

Referrals to a specialist will be made when the family physician deems necessary. All referrals are made in writing to the specialist, usually within 10 days of your visit to your doctor. You will be contacted by phone or letter by either Medicentres staff or the specialist’s staff with regards to your appointment date and time. If the specialist requires you to call and confirm your appointment and you fail to do so as instructed, your appointment may be cancelled by the specialist’s office. Should you for any reason not be able to attend your appointment or need to change the date or time, you will need to contact the office of the specialist on your own to reschedule. Please be aware that specialists may also charge for missed appointments.
