Alberta Blue Cross has released a message of support for residents affected by wildfire evacuations.
According to the Blue Cross, the organization will continue to ensure plan members evacuated from their homes due to the wildfires across the province will receive “uninterrupted” coverage.
The Blue Cross says “special measures” are in place to ensure members will have continued access to health coverage when they need it while they are away from their homes.
Plan members with mental health coverage are encouraged to reach out to programs and providers for assistance. Additionally, all Albertans, plan members or not, can access numerous mental health resources through the Alberta Blue Cross website.
Alberta Blue Cross members impacted by evacuations who require early prescription refills will be allowed to do so, and other healthcare providers such as dentists, chiropractors, and physiotherapists are able to call Alberta Blue Cross to confirm the identity of a member should a plan member not have an ID card.
In addition to these services, the Blue Cross says they are working closely with AHS to ensure coverage is uninterrupted for participants in Alberta Government programs administered by the Blue Cross.
