In a fast-paced world, it’s always good to be thinking ahead and looking out for your health and well-being. Protect yourself against the risk of expenses following illness or accident with individual health benefits.
Private Medical Insurance and Health Insurance
Provincial health plans provide coverage for many health expenses, but there are gaps that can have a big impact on your finances. It’s important for you and your family to have affordable protection against unexpected medical bills.
Here are five reasons to consider individual health benefits:
- Self-employed
- Do not have health benefits through your employer
- Want additional coverages not offered through either your employer’s plan or provincial health coverage (must have provincial health coverage in order to apply for individual health benefits)
- Losing your group coverage and are between jobs
- Retired
Depending on where you live in Canada (province or territory), you may currently be responsible for paying for elements such as:
- Prescription drugs to treat a chronic or serious health condition
- Emergency medical services provided in another country
- Practitioners like physiotherapists to promote wellness or help with injury recovery
- Medical equipment to assist with your mobility
