The Personal Health Insurance Advantage
Investing in a personal health insurance plan can be a key component in protecting your finances, now and in the future. Without supplemental health coverage, you risk becoming overloaded with out-of-pocket medical bills, be it for special medical care that may result from an illness or injury, common, everyday expenses and everything in-between.
Although your provincial or territorial health plan offers coverage for the very basic expenses, there are gaps in the system that, if left unfilled, can have a huge impact on your savings down the road. For instance, depending on where you live in Canada, you may need to pay out-of-pocket for:
- Medications prescribed by a doctor
- Prescription eyeglasses
- Both routine and corrective dental procedures
- Registered therapist services
- Emergency medical care administered when travelling abroad
Protect yourself now for peace of mind later
Fortunately, you can purchase a personal health insurance plan through a health benefits provider. You would really benefit from your own insurance plan if:
- You have no health coverage through your employer
- You're losing or have lost your group employee benefits through retirement or career change
- You are self-employed, working on contract or freelance
SureHealth ZONE and LINK insurance plans give you the "personal advantage", allowing you to choose the benefit package that best suits your needs and your budget.
You can have coverage towards a variety of health-related expenses like:
- Dental care
- Prescription drugs
- Vision care and prescription eyewear
- Registered specialist and therapeutic care
- Emergency medical travel coverage
- Preferred hospital accommodation
