To qualify for drug coverage under this plan, you must:

• be a resident of Alberta
• be under the age of 65 years
• be registered with the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) and have not opted out of the plan
• not in arrears for AHCIP

You must complete an application form to obtain Non-Group Coverage.  The definition of dependants has changed resulting from the Adult Interdependent Relationships Act. Our brochures have been updated to reflect these changes. View the brochure 

Coverage will become effective on the first day of the fourth month after Alberta Health and Wellness receives your application.

If you are leaving another supplemental health plan, please provide Alberta Health and Wellness with a completed application within 30 days of your previous coverage ending, to ensure continuous coverage.

Through Non-Group Coverage, you are eligible for the 3,600 medications listed in the Alberta Health and Wellness Drug Benefit List.

You will be asked to pay 30 per cent of the cost, to a maximum of $25, for each drug prescribed. If you choose a more expensive brand name drug instead of an equivalent generic drug, you will be asked to pay the additional cost.

You will be billed Alberta Blue Cross premiums on a quarterly basis. Alberta Blue Cross premiums are charged in addition to premiums charged to people registered with the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan.

The quarterly (three month) premium rate is:

	Single	Family
Regular	$61.50	$123
Subsidized	$43.05	$86.10

 

If you qualify for Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan premium subsidy, you will automatically qualify for subsidized Blue Cross non-group premiums.
