9 Covering the Cost of Your Cancer Care How can I get help to cover the cost of my prescriptions? Alberta Health Care pays for the costs of your chemotherapy and radiation therapy. However, it does not cover pain and anti-nausea medicines. It is important that you have some type of private or provincial health insurance because some medicines are expensive. If you have no drug coverage, we encourage you to apply for Alberta Blue Cross Non Group coverage as soon as possible. It will take 3 to 4 months before Alberta Blue Cross starts covering your medicines. For example, if you apply on March 1st you will not get drug coverage until July 1st. You can find information and application forms for Alberta Blue Cross Non-Group coverage at: If you need help with drug coverage or need more information about Alberta Blue Cross Non-Group, call your social worker or cancer patient navigator. If you do not have a social worker please ask the navigator how you can access a social worker. If you have private or public insurance find out: If you have a yearly maximum for prescriptions What is your co-pay portion If your plan is a direct bill plan or a reimbursement plan What level of coverage you have i.e., full or partial coverage You may want or need to get more coverage. 9
