Health Insurance Saint John

Supplemental health insurance can be one of the most important investments that you can make for your future, especially if you are currently healthy.

If you face a serious illness or injury, it is all too easy to accumulate significant expenses and medical bills that are not covered by your provincial health plan. For example, prescription drugs, dental care and various forms of treatment and care outside the hospital or doctor’s office may not be covered. Some of these important types of medical care can come with hefty bills, especially expensive new prescription drugs, extensive dental work or intensive therapies.

However, too many people in Saint John do not realize the importance of obtaining a health insurance plan as a supplement to their provincial plan until a serious illness develops. If you wait until you become ill to apply for health insurance, you will have exclusions on your health plan as any existing health conditions will be considered as pre-existing conditions. As a result, you may find yourself struggling to make ends meet or dealing with debt as a result of unexpected medical expenses.

By acting to obtain individual health insurance now, you can make sure that you will be covered when you need to rely on your supplemental plan, giving you peace of mind and the ability to pursue important health needs like proper vision care and dental work.

Why Choose Individual Health Insurance

Many people in rely on their provincial health plans to cover their key costs, including doctor’s visits and the medications they receive while in the hospital. However, many serious illnesses can come with a number of ancillary costs that may not receive coverage under your government plan. Prescription drugs, vision care, and other costs can add up over time, especially if an entire family needs care. By enrolling in private supplemental health insurance, Atlantic Canadians can protect themselves and their family members. With an affordable monthly cost, you can obtain peace of mind for yourself and your family members. However, it is important to take action to protect yourself while your health is intact for the best results.
