Physician’s resource guide

Description

The purpose of this guide is to help physicians and their billing staff prepare claims for services that are insured under the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP), and follow up, if necessary, after claims have been assessed. The information in this guide will help users: understand what must be included on all claims to the AHCIP; ensure that data entered on a claim is up-to-date; verify a patient's health care coverage; and understand the Alberta Health Statement of Assessment and Statement of Account. This guide is designed for use in conjunction with the Schedule of Medical Benefits.
