Moving out of Alberta
If you are leaving Alberta permanently, please cancel your Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) coverage.
Contact the AHCIP office by phone, mail or fax, with your full name, personal health care number and forwarding address.
You can also cancel your AHCIP account in-person at an authorized registry agent office.
Do not email personal information.
When you move to another province or territory, you are covered by the AHCIP for the month you leave and for the next 2 months.
You should apply for coverage in your new province or territory as soon as possible as most health insurance plans require a 3-month residency waiting period.
Death
Inform the AHCIP office of a death of a family member who was registered with AHCIP.
You will need to provide the personal health number of the person who died. You can submit this information:
- by phone, fax or mail to the AHCIP office
- in person at an authorized registry agent office
Do not email any information.
The personal health card of a deceased person should be discarded or destroyed in a secure manner.
