Unfortunately Alberta Health Care has not covered Physical Therapy since 1995. There are some limited sessions covered by Outpatient Community Physiotherapy Services (AHS) for contracted offices. However, these sessions are limited to patients who qualify for low income and/or patients with fractures or surgeries. AHS does not provide Physical Therapy funding for the general community.

Find further information and locations for Outpatient Community Physiotherapy Services at the following links:

Physical Therapy for Neurological Services 

Physical Therapy for Hip & Knee Replacements

Physical Therapy for Fractures, Orthopedic Surgery and General Injuries

If you are seeking Physical Therapy funding for low-income scenarios, please contact the AHS Rehabilitation Advice Line (RAL):

You do not require a Doctor's referral to have one of our therapists attend to you.  If you have private health insurance that covers Physiotherapy, Massage Therapy, Acupuncture or Chiropractic Care, check with your insurance company to see if they require a Doctor's note in order to cover your fees.
