Because we provide both medical and routine eye care, we accept a number of insurance plans to help cover the cost depending on your individual needs.
The Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) covers several eye care services, such as routine eye exams and medically necessary procedures as determined by your eye care provider. For citizens under age 19 and 65 or older, AHCIP provides coverage for eye exams which are necessary if caused by an illness or physical trauma.
Seniors with low income may be eligible for additional coverage of up to $230 in a 3-year period, specifically for prescription glasses. Eye surgery and medications are not covered, but special exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis by submitting a claim.

The cost of routine eye exams and prescription eyewear can be of real concern, especially for large families. In many cases, vision insurance can lower these annual expenses.
A vision insurance policy is not the same as medical insurance. Regular medical health insurance plans protect you against financial losses due to unexpected eye injuries or disease. Vision insurance, on the other hand, is a wellness benefit designed to provide routine eye care, prescription eyewear and other vision-related services at a reduced cost.
