Health care guides
Plain-language answers to the questions people ask when they move, travel or look for care. Every rule links to the province's own page, and we say so when a province hasn't published an answer.
For patients
Getting set up, using your card and finding the right kind of care. Not medical advice.
For patients
New to Alberta? How to get set up in the health care system
Your health card, when coverage starts, finding a family doctor, walk-in clinics, pharmacists, 811 and what is not covered. Each rule links to the official page.
For patients
Does your health card work in another province?
What each province says about showing your card away from home, why Quebec is different, what is never covered and when to get approval first. Each rule links to the official page.
For clinic owners
Practical guides for running your listing and your practice.
