How to access care @ Acumen Health?

Acumen Health is proud to provide private start-to-finish, before and after surgical care, for orthopedic conditions in your home province.

Our clinic operates outside the public healthcare system because our surgeons have opted out of Alberta Health Services (AHS) and/or the Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC. This arrangement allows us to:

  • Provide faster access to medical services in your home province. No travel to other provinces required to access our services.
  • Offer specialized treatments and care.
  • Allow patients to book appointments directly without needing a referral.
  • Operate on a pay-out-of-pocket basis for appointments and any additional imaging, labs, etc

As a patient, this allows you to legally access private care in British Columbia and Alberta. You can learn more about how private care works on our blog here.
