Alberta Health Care Cuts & Notices

At Dr. Bishop & Associates, we want to inform our patients about significant changes to Alberta Health Care’s optometric coverage, as outlined in Bulletin OPT035. These changes affect many people, including children, seniors, and those requiring specialized diagnostic testing.

If you have any questions or need more information, please contact our team today.

What’s Changing?

Effective immediately:

  • Routine partial eye exams for children and seniors are no longer covered.
  • Coverage for special diagnostic testing (such as for patients with diabetes, glaucoma, and macular degeneration) has been reduced by 55%.

These cuts make it more difficult for patients to access essential eye care services, especially those at risk for vision-threatening conditions.

Despite these changes, Dr. Bishop & Associates remains committed to providing a high standard of care. The Alberta Health Care and Government of Alberta’s response to these cuts has been to “charge the patient” without increasing support for seniors, low-income individuals, or families.

To continue offering quality eye care, we have no choice but to introduce a fee comparable to the Alberta Health Care cuts.

This fee will allow us to:

  • Continue offering comprehensive and timely eye care for all patients.
  • Maintain access to specialized diagnostic testing to monitor and manage eye diseases.
  • Continue to provide diagnostic and treatment technologies as they become available.

We understand that these changes are concerning, and we encourage our patients to advocate for the return of proper coverage. We have started a petition at our 4 offices to urge the government to reinstate coverage that meets minimum standards of care.

We encourage you to contact your MLA or the Alberta Health Minister to express your concerns. Thank you for your trust and continued support of independent, Canadian-owned optometric clinics.

Your eye health remains our top priority.
