Foot Care & Your Insurance

TIPS WITH INSURANCE COVERAGE:


1) Most Alberta seniors over 65 are unaware that they may qualify for "Alberta Group 66 (Senior's Health Benefit)" coverage. This coverage can help with the cost of your foot care under "Home Nursing Care", if you qualify for the "special needs assistance" portion. This will help cover "$28 per month" for your maintenance foot care. All I need is your Alberta Health Care Number and your receipt provided to direct bill them quickly for you.

2) Using direct billing (except Alberta Group 66), you do not have to pay the entire cost out of pocket at the time of service (if covered by your plan). You pay only what your insurance company doesn't. Therefore, there's no need to wait on your reimbursement cheque.

3) If your nurse is a provider, you know they've already been background checked by your insurance company. Therefore, making sure they are legally licensed in Alberta and in good standing with their regulatory body.
