Affordable Health Insurance

Individuals and Families

Although Canada’s health system provides coverage for some essential medical expenses, the needs of most people and families are not entirely met. Many provincial governments do not even cover important health care needs like dental check-ups and eye exams.

Individual and Family Insurance This is where individual and family health insurance comes in handy. With supplemental health insurance, people are able to provide better care for themselves and for their family members. It also gives individuals peace of mind knowing that their family is covered for unexpected health care needs.

Shopping for Individual or Family Health Insurance
Finding the right health insurance policy to protect you and your family can be a daunting task. The number one rule to remember, however, is to shop around and compare prices. Approach buying health insurance as you would any other product—search for the most effective, affordable, and reputable product available.

While shopping around, don’t forget to ask the health insurance representatives some key questions:

What is the monthly cost to this plan?
What won’t this policy cover?
Do you cover pre-existing conditions?
How do I make claims?
What doctors, hospitals, and other medical providers are part of the plan?
Is there a maximum amount that I must pay in case of major illness?

These are just some of the important questions that you need answered to make the best decision for you and your family.

Customizing Individual or Family Health Insurance
Because no two people are alike, many supplemental health insurance plans allow you to customize the coverage you need. You are able to pick and choose from different options that cater to the particular needs of every person covered under the same plan.

Choose from dental care, drug coverage, and even special extended health care packages (therapy, nursing, acupuncture, etc.) to tend to your particular needs or those of every member in your family.

Don’t forget to ask each health insurance representative about the types of customization options available with every policy.
