Health Insurance

You're right, as Canadians we enjoy the benefits of our publicly funded health care system. It covers the basics, such as trips to your family doctor or the emergency room, immunizations, and some treatments for mental health disorders.

Our Personal Health Plans can cover health care costs government health plans don't. Things such as contacts, dental exams, and massage treatments that help you feel and be your best. And when the unexpected happens, we cover the costs of road and air ambulance, preferred hospital rooms, medical equipment, and more to make sure you get the care you deserve.

While you might not have an immediate need for health coverage, it's worth it to get a plan in place now. It can save you money in the long run, help you be proactive with your health and help you afford care when you need it. 

Absolutely. They can be added to your Personal Health Coverage at any time, no application required. If you’d like to add prescription drug coverage or Hospital Cash, just fill out a Plan Upgrade Form and send it our way. If you’d like to add dental coverage, just let us or your broker know. We’ll add it to your plan, no paperwork required.

Both our Replacement Health and Personal Health products offer coverage of health care costs not covered by the government, they also help you plan ahead and keep you healthy. They’ve got similar benefits, but Replacement Health plans are only to people losing coverage from a group benefits plan.

If you’re eligible to apply for Replacement Health, we offer guaranteed acceptance, no medical questions asked. That means your premium won’t be affected by health conditions you might have developed while covered under your group benefits plan. We’ve also packaged our Replacement Health plans to provide similar benefits to most group benefits plans so you can keep doing the things that make you healthy.

You can also apply for one of our Personal Health plans if you’re leaving a group plan. These plans are designed to give you choice and flexibility when it comes to which benefits you’d like to include.

To be eligible for coverage under a Replacement Health Plan, you must set up your plan within 90 days of losing coverage from a group benefits plan.

It’s a good idea. Your provincial health plan covers some basic services like seeing a doctor or visiting the ER outside your home province. But costs for emergency ambulance rides, prescriptions and dental work are not. An emergency medical travel plan is an affordable way to prevent the financial burden of unexpected medical bills while you’re away.

There are many factors that contribute to the cost of a health insurance plan such as age, medical history, location, policy maximums, etc. We offer a range of Personal and Replacement Health plans to suit your needs and your budget.
