What is a Nurse Practitioner?
If you’ve ever felt rushed, unheard, or left without answers in your healthcare journey, you’re not alone. Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are changing that experience by offering more time, more listening, and more comprehensive care.
A Nurse Practitioner is a registered nurse with advanced education (Master’s degree or higher) and extensive clinical training. NPs are licensed to:
Perform comprehensive assessments and physical exams
Diagnose and treat a wide range of health conditions
Order and interpret lab work and diagnostic tests
Prescribe medications (including controlled substances)
Provide counselling, education, and preventative care
Refer to specialists when needed

💳 Insurance Coverage for NP Services
Many patients are surprised to learn that Nurse Practitioner services are eligible for reimbursement through extended health insurance plans in Alberta. Much like physiotherapy, chiropractic care, or psychology, you may be able to submit your receipt for coverage.
Coverage varies by insurer and plan, so it’s always a good idea to:
Call your insurance provider and ask if Nurse Practitioner visits are covered,
Confirm the amount per visit or per year that can be claimed,
Save your receipt from Eternal Youth for submission.
✨ Bottom line: Nurse Practitioners are highly trained healthcare providers who bring both expertise and compassion to your care. At Eternal Youth, we’re proud to offer women’s health and aesthetic services that not only support your confidence but may also be supported by your insurance.
