Alberta AB-2 Treatment Plan: Auto Injury Form

Alberta's primary health care practitioners use this plan to report a motor vehicle claimant's diagnosis, functional goals and proposed treatment. Under the Diagnostic and Treatment Protocols Regulation (DTPR), which governs sprain, strain and whiplash-associated disorder (WAD) injuries, only the treatment listed on the plan is pre-authorized. The completed plan goes to the claimant's insurance company.

Who completes it

The primary health care practitioner (physician, chiropractor or physical therapist) completes Part 3 (Therapy Status Report), Part 4 (Treatment) and Part 5, then signs Part 6. The claimant or an authorized representative fills in Parts 1 and 2 and signs Part 7 to choose whether to be treated within the DTPR.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
The AB-2 directs that it be forwarded to the claimant's insurance company. For claims under the Automobile Accident Insurance Benefits Regulation (AAIBR), Alberta says the AB-2 is completed at the insurer's request.
Who pays
For the AB-2, fees in the Superintendent of Insurance bulletins apply only to DTPR claims; under the AAIBR, Alberta says expenses for completing AB claims forms are not prescribed and must be reasonable.

Good to know

  • ICD-10-CA injury codes are required for sprains, strains and WAD, as set out in Superintendent of Insurance Notice 07-2014, and recommended for other injuries when practical.
  • Part 4 is completed with reference to the DTPR and Superintendent of Insurance Bulletins 07-2014, 08-2014 and 09-2014; Alberta also publishes DTPR Interpretative Guideline 03-2024.
  • The plan records up to three functional goals, the expected number of visits, an expected discharge date and whether you expect to reassess within three weeks because of alerting factors.
  • The current DTPR (116/2014) applies to collisions on or after July 1, 2014; Alberta's Care-First system, with its own forms, starts January 1, 2027.

A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms change without notice, so download the current version from the official page before you fill it in.

Frequently asked questions

Who can complete an Alberta AB-2 Treatment Plan?

The claimant's primary health care practitioner completes it; the form offers medical doctor, chiropractor and physical therapist as professions. The practitioner certifies the information in Part 6. The claimant or an authorized representative supplies personal details in Parts 1 and 2 and signs Part 7 about treatment within the DTPR.

What does pre-authorized treatment mean on the AB-2?

For sprain, strain and WAD injuries treated under the Diagnostic and Treatment Protocols Regulation, only the treatment listed on the AB-2 is pre-authorized. Part 4 asks for the treatment to be provided and whether you expect the claimant to return to normal and essential activities, with an expected date if so.

When is an AB-2 needed for an AAIBR claim?

Alberta uses the same prescribed AB forms for claims under the DTPR and under the Automobile Accident Insurance Benefits Regulation. For AAIBR claims, the AB-2, AB-3 and AB-4 are completed at the insurer's request, and because no fee is prescribed, the expense of completing them must be reasonable.
