Insurance Coverage

At South Trail Crossing Dental, we accept Health Benefits Card which people eligible for Income Support, the Alberta Adult Health Benefit, and the Alberta Child Health Benefit receive through Alberta Works. Alberta Health Benefits Card (Health Benefits) provides coverage for themselves and/or their dependants unless they receive coverage through the Government of Canada.

Dental Care is one of the health benefits under that program.

Alberta Child Health Benefit covers health benefits for children up to 18, or children who are 18 or 19 if they live at home and attend high school. To be eligible, families must meet the income guidelines and not be receiving health benefits from other government programs.
