Anyone know how much I would be expected to pay here in the states? Do you pay by cash to the doctor himself or is there a lot of paperwork involved?

I'd go check Alberta's health care website and see if there's a form you can fill out. As far as I know the Alberta government is bound to pay for ANY procedure you receive abroad that is covered in Alberta. I'm sure you will even be able to find a list of all the procedures which are included. The only sticky part is even though the CHA plainly states that your provincial government has to pay you'll probably need a lawyer to get them to pony up - or a good journalist.
In summary: (1) you're gonna have to pay even though the Alberta government is to be billed directly. (2) The Alberta government will tell you to fuck off when you ask for a refund unless you lawyer up first.
