At Level Up Wellness Group, our commitment to your health is rooted in comprehensive, personalized care delivered by a dedicated and collaborative medical team. We understand that managing your health often involves multiple aspects, from diagnosis to treatment, and our integrated approach ensures that every part of your care is coordinated to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Our team is dedicated to listening, assessing, diagnosing, and treating each patient with the attention and care they deserve. With our Nurse Practitioners offering support in both primary and psychiatric care, you can trust that your health is in capable hands.
In Alberta, Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are highly trained professionals who can perform many of the same functions as a General Practitioner (family doctors). They can prescribe medications, recommend blood work and imaging, and make necessary referrals to specialists.
Nurse Practitioners are skilled, autonomous healthcare providers who can diagnose, treat, and manage a wide range of health conditions. By providing these services, NPs help reduce the wait times for patients seeking primary care. In many cases, patients can access care more quickly through an NP than through a family doctor or specialist, especially in areas with high demand for healthcare services.
NPs provide comprehensive care, including conducting physical exams, ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests, prescribing medications, and developing treatment plans. This broad scope of practice allows NPs to address your health concern in a single visit, streamlining the care process and improving patient outcomes.
In specialized healthcare settings, NPs collaborate with physicians, specialists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure patients receive holistic care. For instance, in mental health and chronic disease management, NPs offer focused care that addresses specific needs, easing the workload of specialists and allowing them to concentrate on more complex cases.
Nurse Practitioners are known for their patient-centered approach to care. They often spend more time with patients than physicians, listening to their concerns, educating them about their health, and involving them in decision-making. This approach fosters a strong therapeutic relationship, encourages patient compliance with treatment plans, and improves overall health outcomes.
Our medical team includes highly skilled Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals who work together to address your health needs. This team-based approach allows us to offer a broad range of services while ensuring that each aspect of your care is interconnected, providing you with seamless, holistic support.
At Level Up Wellness Group, we strive to bridge the gaps in the current healthcare system, offering a wide range of services to meet your needs efficiently and effectively. Our Nurse Practitioners provide:

Level Up Wellness Group believes that offering fee-for-service medical care is essential to providing timely and accessible healthcare. With the current strain on the public healthcare system in Alberta, many patients experience long wait times and difficulty accessing care. By offering fee-for-service options, we ensure that patients can receive prompt attention, especially those without a family doctor or those who need immediate care.
Level Up Wellness Group aims to become a comprehensive health hub for our community. We strive to integrate various services into personalized care plans, enhancing overall health outcomes for our clients.

Here is a link on how nurse practitioner-led clinics is a way to support patients without family doctors: https://npao.org/nplcs/
Fee-for-service care allows patients to access medical services without the long wait times often associated with publicly funded healthcare. This model empowers patients to receive the care they need when they need it, improving overall health outcomes. It also provides continuity of care for those who might otherwise be left without a regular healthcare provider.
Our integrated wellness model is designed to address the holistic needs of our patients, combining traditional medical care with wellness services such as mental health support, nutrition counseling, and physical therapy. Fee-for-service medical care is a crucial component of this model, as it ensures that all aspects of a patient’s health can be addressed in a timely and coordinated manner.
With the shortage of family doctors in Alberta, many individuals struggle to find consistent medical care. Fee-for-service options provide an alternative, allowing patients without a family doctor to access necessary medical services without delay. This approach helps bridge the gap in care for those who might otherwise fall through the cracks of the public system.
Yes, fee-for-service medical care is both legal and ethical. It is an option available within the Canadian healthcare system, designed to supplement public services. At Level Up Wellness Group, we ensure that all services provided are in line with regulatory standards and ethical guidelines, focusing on patient-centered care.
We understand that some patients may have concerns about private medical services. We encourage you to discuss any concerns directly with your MLA or government representatives. The decision to offer fee-for-service care is part of our commitment to providing accessible and comprehensive healthcare within the current system. We believe that all patients should have the right to choose the care that best suits their needs.
Fee-for-service care does not replace public healthcare; rather, it complements it by providing additional options for patients. This model can help alleviate pressure on the public system by reducing wait times and allowing those with urgent needs to receive care more quickly. In doing so, it can contribute to a more efficient healthcare system overall.
Here is an example:
A family needs a health check-up for their child, but the public clinic has a two-month wait, or roughly 60 days. Concerned, they choose to visit a private clinic instead, where the child is seen within just 7 days. This 53-day reduction in wait time allows for the early detection and treatment of a health issue that could have worsened if left untreated. By opting for private care, the family not only improves the child’s health outcome but also helps reduce the load on the public clinic, potentially shortening the wait time for others by allowing the public system to focus on those who cannot access private care.

Fee-for-service medical care may be beneficial for individuals who do not have a family doctor, those who require timely access to medical services, or anyone looking for a more integrated approach to their health and wellness. It is also a good option for patients who prefer personalized, continuous care that aligns with their specific health needs.
Continuity of care is a priority at Level Up Wellness Group. Our fee-for-service model allows us to maintain a consistent relationship with our patients, ensuring that their health needs are met over time. This approach supports better long-term health outcomes by providing ongoing, comprehensive care tailored to each individual.

There have been many services that have not been covered for decades. Here is a list of services to provide you with examples. For more information on what is NOT covered, visit the following websites:

By offering private services, healthcare providers can alleviate the burden on Alberta Health Services by reducing the demand for public healthcare, which in turn can shorten wait times for those who rely solely on the public system. This approach also enhances health outcomes by ensuring timely access to necessary care.
Alberta Health Services (AHS) is the provincial health authority responsible for delivering health care across Alberta. While AHS provides a broad range of health services, there are several services and treatments that are not covered under the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) or by Alberta Health Services. These non-covered services require individuals to pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance.
