Hey everyone,
My wife landed in Canada on Jan 9th and applied for an inland PR in Feb. We recieved a one year visitors record and we applied for my wife to recieve an alberta health care number and was approved (was so easy the registry didnt even ask for a wedding certificate because they said common law relationships occur with them all the time and it is no big deal), so my wife has all the same health benefits as I do. We do not have medical insurance through a third party at the moment.
When we eventually recieve our medical request we did some research and found a doctor who does the MR for $250 but this does not include xrays and lab tests. If she has a health care number, this should be automatically covered, correct? I checked the alberta website and xrays, lab tests are covered but unsure if because this is for government purposes that it would cost money.
Thanks!
