In 2021, the Government of Alberta transitioned the administration of AADL medical surgical, benchmark mobility, prosthetic, orthotic and footwear benefits to Alberta Blue Cross®, followed by wheelchair and large recycle equipment benefits in January 2022. These transitions were the final phases in transitioning all AADL benefits to Alberta Blue Cross®.
The AADL program assists Albertans with a long-term disability, chronic illness or terminal illness in maintaining their wellness and independence in their community. The program provides funding for basic medical equipment and supplies to meet clinically assessed needs, with eligibility determined through an assessment by a health care professional.
Moving all AADL benefits to Alberta Blue Cross® provides the Government with access to our specialized expertise, advanced technology platform and claims adjudication systems. It also provides the ability for a coordinated approach for payment and processes that will deliver more efficient service to thousands of benefit providers and over 100,000 Albertans.
