Treatment under an RCMP or Canadian Forces authorization

What RCMP / Canadian Forces pays for, how long you have, and what to bring to the first visit — with the clinics that bill it directly, where we hold enough of them to compare.

How an RCMP or Canadian Forces authorization gets you treated

  1. Get treatment authorized

    Through your base or detachment health services. The authorization names the therapy and the visit count.

  2. Book somewhere that direct-bills

    Fewer clinics are set up for this than for extended health, which is why this list is short and specific.

  3. The clinic invoices Blue Cross

    You show the card and the authorization. Nothing changes hands at the desk.

RCMP / Canadian Forces claims: what to know

For serving members the coverage question is settled; the availability question is not. Only a minority of clinics are set up to direct-bill Blue Cross under the member plans, and shift patterns mean the slots that matter are early mornings and late evenings.

This page filters to the clinics that said they do both, and orders them by how soon they can actually see you rather than by rating.
