On October 1, 2004, new government regulations were introduced outlining diagnosis and treatment protocols for patients with injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents.
The Government of Alberta has sent information packages on the new regulations to health care practitioners affected by the legislation. A Guide to Primary Health Care Practitioners to Alberta Insurance Act Regulations contains information about the new regulations and contact information for those who require further details.
More information on the legislation and insurance news is available on the Government of Alberta website.
Questions regarding the legislation or protocols should be directed to the Senior Medical Advisor for the Superintendent of Insurance at 780-423-9952.
