Supplemental Private Health Insurance Plans
A growing number of Canadians use Supplemental or Private Health Insurance plans to fill the need left by their Provincial Health Plan..
Private Individual Health Insurance Plans can often be complex and require navigating in order to get the right plan at the best rate. Canadian Health Coverage’s focus is on helping individuals find Affordable Health Insurance Coverage.
Our plans are tailored to your needs and in many cases can deliver extra benefits that are sometimes overlooked.
Private Health Insurance Plans are meant to cover what your Provincial Health Plan doesn’t. For example looking at healthcare plans in Ontario the Ontario Provincial Health Plan OHIP will cover Doctor Visits, Medical Emergencies, Hospital Coverage, major surgery and various important procedures .This leaves a gap in coverage for important items such as Prescriptions , Dental Coverage, Specialists and Therapists, Ambulance and Travel Insurance.
What things would a Private Health insurance Plan cover?
