Health insurance protects your savings if you face serious health issues. As a result, you are not burdened with preventive care or medical bills. You get comprehensive coverage for various medical expenses such as pre and post hospitalization, ambulance and domiciliary services. Ken Maynard Insurance Brokers helps you find the most suitable health insurance for your current situation. Our policy plans cover a myriad of health concerns ranging from long-term medical issues to accidental health concerns.
Provincial health plans provide coverage just for basic healthcare expenses and the gaps can have a significant impact on your finances.
You might have to pay for the following depending on the province or territory you live:
Prescription drugs for the treatment of chronic health conditions
Physiotherapists or similar practitioners who help patients with injury recovery or promote wellness
Medical equipment to assist mobility
Dental or vision treatment
Similarly, if you have an employer's insurance, your policy might not cover all your needs. If you are on prescription medication, need physiotherapy sessions or visit your dentist regularly, a private health insurance policy can save you from these expenses.
There are different types of health policies available. You should choose the one relevant to you based on your health conditions.
Have a look at some of the common health insurance policies:
Personal Health Insurance – Such plans cover what your provincial health insurance doesn’t cover. You can use it for prescription medicine or specialized doctor coverage
Group Health Insurance – Employers generally offer this policy to their employees at a discounted price to what you would pay individually
Disability Insurance – This policy applies to those who are no longer able to work due to their disability
Critical Illness Insurance – You can apply for this policy after being diagnosed with a critical illness and surviving for a specified period
Long Term Care Insurance – Such policies can cover long term care, such as nursing homes
Travel Medical Insurance – This policy will cover medical expenses that might occur while you are travelling outside of Canada
Private health insurance policies offer ideal options that you can use to supplement provincial health plans.
