Veterans Affairs Chiropractic Coverage
Coverage for eligible Canadian veterans — thank you for your service.
Chiropractic care is a recognized health benefit for eligible Canadian veterans through Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC). VAC health benefits are administered by Medavie Blue Cross, and for many veterans chiropractic treatment is covered when it relates to an accepted condition.
If you’re a veteran with a VAC health identification card, contact our North Edmonton clinic and we’ll help you confirm your coverage before your first visit.
What to know
How VAC coverage works
Veterans Affairs Canada funds a range of treatment benefits for eligible veterans, and chiropractic care can be included depending on your accepted conditions and benefit grid. These benefits are processed through Medavie Blue Cross, which is separate from provincial and private extended health plans.
Because eligibility and the number of covered visits vary from veteran to veteran, the simplest path is to call us with your VAC card details so we can confirm exactly what your benefits cover before you book treatment.
Booking your visit
You can book an initial assessment at any time — no physician referral is needed to see a chiropractor in Alberta. During that visit, Dr. Fayad will assess your condition and explain a treatment plan, and our front desk will help make sure your VAC benefits are applied correctly.
If your VAC benefits don’t cover a particular service, we’ll tell you up front and walk through your options, including your other extended health coverage.
