Medical/Emergency Eye Exams
All medically necessary eye visits with an optometrist are partially covered by Alberta Health Care.
Alberta Health Care provides partial coverage for medical and emergency visits. However, as of early 2025, Alberta Health Care (AHC) introduced substantial cuts to the billing codes for optometric services. Due to these changes, many clinic visits that were once fully covered now require a patient co-payment. We will continue to submit claims to AHC for the covered portion of your appointment, but a co-payment will be necessary to cover the remaining cost.
Types of visits include:
- Eye infections
- Foreign objects in the eyes
- Sudden change in vision
- Diabetic eye health checks
- Glaucoma management
- Flashes and floaters
Emergency walk-ins are always welcome so visit us and avoid the long wait at the ER!
