Federal Programs
Chiropractors are recognized under the HPB for outpatient services. Services can be accessed only when prescribed by the attending physician, nurse practitioner or physiotherapist.

Insurance
Extended health care insurance/benefits provided through employers or individual coverage like Alberta Blue Cross usually covers most, if not all costs, for chiropractic treatments.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Disability Parking Placards
As of February 1, 2017, chiropractors registered in Alberta have been authorized to approve application forms for parking placards for persons with disabilities.
