Get affordable health & dental benefits for yourself and your family.
Individuals without health and dental benefits are subject to expensive fees for certain treatments. These costs are magnified when they involve a family.

Steve Barnes, Policy Analyst at Wellesley says, “We know that not having access to those services can have significant health impacts.”

If you already have a benefit plan through your employer or an insurer, approval for extended health care benefits are usually automatic. In some cases, a medical questionnaire must be completed prior to approval.

Considering twice a year visits to the dentist and unexpected illnesses, even those on a limited income can realize significant savings annually with extended health and dental coverage.
Provincial coverage can no longer afford to provide health assistance for many treatments that we used to take for granted. An extended health care insurance plan can relieve many unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind for you and your family.
