In Alberta, hormonal contraception (the pill, patch, ring, or injection) requires a prescription, which can be issued by a physician, a nurse practitioner, or a pharmacist who holds Additional Prescribing Authorization. Unlike British Columbia, Alberta does not have a universal free-contraception program, so the cost is generally covered only through private insurance or government-sponsored drug plans for eligible residents.
