Curious Canadians · The details

Health insurance, explained

Map the gaps in the benefits you already have.

List existing benefits

Gather your current public, employer, individual or other benefits. Note who is eligible, what services are included and when any existing plan ends.

Check the conditions

Ask about exclusions, waiting periods, benefit maximums, reimbursement rules, provider networks and coordination with other plans. Avoid comparing plans using only the monthly cost.

Canada and the United States differ

Canadian supplementary health questions and U.S. health plan questions involve different systems. Speak with a provider who can explain the rules, eligibility and options for your actual location.

Protect your medical information

Use this website for general questions only. A provider can arrange a suitable channel if personal medical information is needed later.

In Canada, ask about the rules and provider availability in your province or territory. Financial Consumer Agency of Canada · Life insurance ↗
