Financial assistance and insurance support with Freddie

In addition to helping you navigate public and private insurance, Freddie offers financial assistance programs to make PrEP as affordable as possible in three ways:

Program 1: (Almost) Everyone with insurance pays a $0 co-pay with Freddie

While PrEP is free in Alberta for those with a valid health card, co-pays and dispensing fees can increase this price.

No one likes surprises in the form of additional costs.

With Freddie's unique financial aid, we make sure that $0 stays where it's supposed to.

Program 2: Three months of free PrEP while you wait for your coverage

Did you just move to Alberta and are waiting for your provincial coverage to kick in?  

Getting coverage for PrEP can take a few months. We'll help you get on PrEP for free in the meantime.

Freddie provides three months of free PrEP for those who qualify, so you can be protected right away.

Additional questions you may have

Is PrEP Covered in Alberta?

Yes, PrEP is covered for those with a valid Alberta health card.

Freddie covers pharmacy co-pays & dispensing fees to make sure that $0 doesn't increase.

How much is PrEP in Alberta?

If you have a valid Alberta health card, PrEP is usually free. Though some people still do pay co-pays and dispensing fees. Freddie’s financial assistance brings this cost down to $0.

With private insurance, PrEP is usually free for about 85% of patients through Freddie.

Is PrEP in Alberta free?

Can you get PrEP anonymously?

No, you cannot get PrEP without confidentially disclosing your medical information.

Medical information shared with Freddie remains confidential and will not be shared with anyone without your permission.

If an HIV-positive case is found during testing, this information is legally required to be shared with the local health department.

Is online PrEP legit?

Yes, online PrEP clinics are required to hold to the same standard as in-person clinics.

Online PrEP increases accessibility for individuals who live further from city centres. By reducing commute & wait times, PrEP is more attainable.

Can I get PrEP without my parents knowing?

Freddie delivers PrEP in discreet packaging to your home! Though if you prefer, we can arrange for your prescription to be sent to a pharmacy of your choice to pick up privately.

Lab testing results and prescriptions are viewable to practitioners via a provincial-wide electronic medical record. If you have a family doctor, they can view this, though they would have to search through records to find it, which is not common practice.

If you use private insurance for a prescription with us and have other people listed on your private insurance, they may be able to see prescription receipts.

Please let your clinician know if you require discretion with your prescription, and we will accommodate to the best of our ability!

How do I get PrEP immediately?

The quickest way to get PrEP immediately is to book a free virtual appointment with Freddie.

Our medical team is trained to work in LGBTQ2S+ health and has helped thousands of Canadian patients access PrEP for free.
