The Coverage Gap
What Provincial Plans Don't Cover
Canada's public healthcare system covers many basics, but leaves significant gaps in coverage. Prescription drugs, dental care, vision, physiotherapy, mental health, and paramedical services typically require private insurance.
Whether you're self-employed, between jobs, a recent graduate aging off a parent's plan, or a small business owner — I can help you find the right extended benefits plan.
- Prescription drug costs (average Canadian spends $1,100/year)
- Dental care — cleanings, fillings, orthodontics
- Vision care — exams, glasses, contacts
- Paramedical — physio, chiro, massage, psychology
- Hospital upgrades — semi-private or private rooms
