Alberta

Fees and coverage

Uninsured fees must reflect professional and administrative costs and ability to pay; disclose before providing the service. Do not charge for publicly funded care.

Confirm the actual document, insured assessment, public-plan eligibility and any other payer. No patient fee is approved simply by selecting a province.

Physician authority and care

Validate CPSA registration and current virtual-care requirements before assigning a patient.

Verify the clinician’s current registration, identity, competence and patient-location rules. Plan for examination, follow-up and local urgent care when needed.

Workplace documentation

Do not assume every absence needs a note. Check applicable employment standards, workplace agreements and the specific purpose. Federal workplace rules can apply regardless of province.
