Health Insurance Plans in Ontario
Health insurance is an important part of keeping your body and mind in the best possible condition. It’s also a protective barrier against the rising cost of medical services.
As an Ontario resident, you can take advantage of a wide range of health insurance plans available through Special Benefits Insurance Services. This can give you the peace of mind knowing you and your family members will be financially prepared to handle illness and injuries. You never know what tomorrow will bring. However, with our health insurance plans for Ontario residents, you’ll be in a much better position to address any medical issues that may arise.
We Pick Up Where the Ontario Health Insurance Plan Stops
The Ontario government provides basic health insurance coverage through OHIP. However, the Ontario Health Insurance Plan is limited. Generally, it won’t cover dental or other services such as chiropractors, physiotherapists, massage therapists or podiatrists, and prescription drugs are not covered for those over 25 or under 65. Health insurance plans available through SBIS are designed to help you offset the costs of these services not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan.
The SBIS Advantage
At SBIS, we provide a number of supplemental insurance options to help Ontario residents ensure they have adequate health coverage. We offer Prism health and dental insurance programs as well as products from other leading insurance companies such as Manulife (FlexCare®/FollowMe™/Association) and Group Medical Services (GMS). As an independent broker, SBIS strives to provide you with the best type of coverage for your needs. Our insurance products can help you fill gaps in your provincial coverage so you can rest assured you have the most comprehensive health insurance benefits available in Ontario.
Our Ontario health insurance coverage is ideal for
- Students, retirees and others who have lost or do not qualify for group coverage
- Entrepreneurs and small business owners who desire comprehensive coverage
- Any individual who would like to enjoy the financial security that health insurance coverage offers
