TORONTO, May 12, 2023 /CNW/ – Many Alberta residents have been displaced from their homes due to the extraordinary wildfires in the province. As a result, some may have lost or left behind their health insurance information or items such as prescription drugs and eyeglasses.
Many health insurers have put in place special measures for health plan members who have left their homes and businesses due to the fires. If you have questions about your group health coverage or need your plan information in order to get replacement prescription drugs or other medical items, please contact your insurer.
