One of the best parts about living in Canada is the access to free health care. We can help you whether you are applying for the first time, adding your family members onto your health-care plan, or making changes to the information on your account.
You can fill out an application form on your own if you are single, however if you are married or common law then you must apply together with your significant other (unless they are not living in Alberta with you).
If you already have health care and are adding family members who have recently moved to Alberta then you need to fill out an addition form
You also have the option to change your information or request a new Alberta Health Card by filling out an update form.
Please see our Forms page to access any of the AHCIP forms mentioned above.
If you are coming from another country then you are eligible for Alberta Health Care as of the date you enter Alberta.
If you are arriving from another province you are eligible 90 days from the day you enter Alberta. You may use the health care number from your previous province during the 90 day waiting period. In some cases you may have to pay for your medical services and send the receipts to your previous province for reimbursement.
*If you are not eligible right now you may still apply before the 90 days, you will not receive your card until your eligibility date
