Is a Hair Transplant in Calgary Covered by Alberta Health Services or Private Insurance?

Understanding Hair Transplant Coverage in Alberta 

Hair loss can have a real impact on confidence and quality of life. However, Alberta Health Services only covers procedures deemed medically necessary for physical health. Because hair transplants are considered elective cosmetic treatments, neither FUE nor FUT procedures qualify for provincial funding. 

Dr. Dhaliwal and the team at Hair Nation believe in making world-class care as accessible as possible. That’s why every patient—men and women alike—receives clear cost estimates, financing options through Beautifi, and full transparency about what’s included in their procedure.

 

Why Hair Transplants Aren’t Covered 

Provincial Health Plan Limitations 

Alberta Health Services provides coverage only for treatments that preserve or restore health following injury or illness. Hair transplants, while transformative, are categorized as cosmetic enhancements. Both FUE and FUT Hair Transplants fall outside this definition, meaning patients must cover the cost privately. 

Private Insurance Policies 

Private insurance companies also classify hair restoration as elective. Even comprehensive plans that include some cosmetic procedures rarely extend to male and female hair transplants. Most will not cover the surgical cost, anesthesia, or postoperative care, regardless of whether you undergo FUE or FUT. 

Financing Options with Beautifi 

Because coverage isn’t available, Hair Nation partners with Beautifi to offer financing that allows patients to move forward without financial strain. Affordable monthly payments make it easier for men and women to choose the right hair restoration option—whether that’s FUE, FUT, or a combination with non-surgical treatments like injections or laser therapy.

Your Confidence, Your Investment 

While neither Alberta Health nor private insurance covers Hair Transplant Services, the benefits extend far beyond aesthetics. With Dr. Dhaliwal’s expertise in FUE and FUT techniques, Hair Nation patients achieve natural, lasting results that can dramatically restore confidence.
