There are some private pay services, such as physiotherapy and massage therapy, which your private insurance or Blue Cross may cover (similar to your typical physiotherapy clinic or massage therapist). We also offer additional health services such as medical aesthetics and cosmetic medicine where there will be associated fees charged for services rendered. We also offer free consults for certain services as needed.<\/span><\/p>\n Yes, we are more than happy to take walk-ins and we also offer patients the ability to book same day appointments. Wait times are dependent on the physicians on duty that day and available time slots.<\/span><\/p>\n Yes, our health centres have family physicians who are accepting new patients and you will have the opportunity to book a \u201cmeet and greet\u201d with your new family physician.<\/span><\/p>\n Imagine Health strives to be your all in one health centre and make your visit as convenient and helpful as possible.

We suggest that all patients return to the clinic seven days after any tests to obtain test results. In rare cases or for urgent tests, we may ask that you return to the clinic at an earlier date.<\/span><\/p>\n When visiting the clinic it is important that you remember to bring your government issued photo identification and Alberta Healthcare card.<\/span><\/p>\n Valid card holders will be provided with health coverage at no cost.

This process helps to prevent identity theft and fraud, and also ensures that we have the correct person. You will be required to pay for your visit if you are unable to provide an Alberta Healthcare Number and photo identification, or if the number cannot be validated.<\/span><\/p>\n Please take note that Alberta Health will not pay for services that it deems non-essential.
