ASEBP’s Extended Health Care (EHC) plan provides coverage for a variety of health care services and supplies. EHC coverage is designed to complement the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan, covering a number of treatment and supply expenses that are not covered, or covered to a limited extent, by the provincial plan, making ASEBP's EHC plan a vital component of your comprehensive benefits coverage. Benefits excluded from the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan are not automatically covered by ASEBP’s Extended Health Care plan.
EHC coverage includes:
- Prescription medication (including specific over-the-counter drug products)
- A range of medical supplies and equipment
- Ambulance services
- Accidental dental
- Emergency expenses incurred while travelling outside Alberta
