Provincial health care plans may not satisfy all your medical care needs. If you would like extra coverage you can apply for supplementary health and dental insurance. While supplementary plans vary from province to province, as well as the type and level of insurance coverage offered, the most common types of supplemental health insurance is extended health (which provides coverage for prescriptions, vision etc.) and dental plans.
You need extended health and dental coverage if you are:
•Self-employed
If you have your own business you may want to consider to have a group plan set up. Also you can apply for personal extended health and dental plan to get comprehensive coverage. Remember that insurance premiums are tax deductible!
•Retiree
Since the employee benefits plan you’re accustomed to at your work may not cover you during retirement be prepared with supplementary health insurance.
•You need extra coverage
Extra coverage is a good idea if you have additional health care needs that are not covered under provincial or your group or work plan.
