Individual Health Insurance in Canada

Flexible Plans for Every Stage of Life (2026 Guide). If you don’t have employer benefits, protect yourself from out-of-pocket medical expenses not covered by provincial plans.

Bridge the Gap in Provincial Care

While provincial healthcare (like OHIP) covers basic hospital visits, it typically ignores everyday essentials. Our individual health insurance plans complement government coverage to ensure you're never stuck with a bill for prescriptions, dental work, or vital therapy.

How to Choose the Right Plan

1. Evaluate Needs

Do you take regular meds? Need major dental soon? How often do you use paramedical services like massage or physio?

2. Compare Metrics

Look beyond price. Compare annual maximums, waiting periods, deductibles, and reimbursement percentages.

3. Future-Proof

Choose a plan with guaranteed renewability so your coverage stays with you even if your health status changes later.
