What is it?

Supplemental health care and dental insurance plans can help you pay for many common medical expenses that aren’t covered – or only partially covered – by government health insurance plans.

Why is it important?

These expenses can include:

  • Prescription drugs
  • Paramedical services (e.g. physiotherapy, chiropractic and massage therapy)
  • Eyeglasses
  • Hospital rooms (private and semi-private)
  • Dental work
  • Vision care

Things to keep in mind                      

Supplemental health care and dental insurance plans can provide much needed coverage for a variety of people, such as:                    

  • Those who are just starting their  careers, but don’t yet belong to an employer group health plan
  • Self-employed individuals
  • Those who work for a company that doesn’t offer a group health plan
