See how it all started!
More than 60 years ago a small blue cross became the symbol of a bold new movement to help Albertans struggling with the daunting challenge of paying for medical care.
Alberta Blue Cross began as a company dedicated to helping people pay their hospital bills in an era when universal health care didn't exist. Today, we provide more than 1.7 million Albertans with quality health and dental benefits.
Beginning with the simple objective to cover basic hospital care, Alberta Blue Cross has continuously adapted to the changing needs of Albertans. Today we deliver a broad range of supplementary health benefit programs and services.
Alberta hospitals were behind the formation of the Alberta Blue Cross Plan in 1948. Under an Act of the Alberta Legislature, the Associated Hospitals of Alberta (AHA) was incorporated and permitted to establish a voluntary, pre-paid, not-for-profit Blue Cross plan.
The Plan essentially served as an extension of Alberta's hospital sector, offering a province-wide hospital care plan for working Albertans.It gave patients affordable coverage for needed hospital services. At the same time, Alberta hospitals gained greater financial security because the Plan paid patient bills.
Alberta Blue Cross is reducing rates on group benefit plans for thousands of Alberta employers across the province in conjunction with recent dental fee guide changes.
Through the Healthy Communities Grant Program, Alberta Blue Cross will award $50,000 grants to support community amenities around Alberta.
