Health Insurance for Maritimers
Your personal health is too important to leave to chance. While provincial health coverage provides basic care, it doesn’t cover everything. Health insurance is an affordable way to protect yourself, your spouse, and your children from unexpected medical costs. Even a short-term prescription can cost more than a few months of your premium, making health insurance a smart financial decision.
Why Health Insurance Matters
Living in Canada means you have access to basic hospital and doctor services, but there are gaps in coverage. Personal health insurance fills these gaps, providing protection for:
Dental care: routine cleanings, fillings, and more
Prescription medications: for long-term or unexpected needs
Specialist visits: including physiotherapy, chiropractic care, and more
Vision care: glasses, contact lenses, and eye exams
Additional Benefits of Health Insurance
Beyond everyday medical costs, many health insurance policies include extra protections such as:
Private hospital rooms: for comfort and privacy during hospital stays
Travel insurance: coverage for family vacations or trips outside Canada
Emergency medical coverage: unexpected accidents or urgent care needs
Even short-term prescriptions or minor procedures can add up quickly. With the right health insurance policy, the savings on routine prescriptions and dental visits alone can often cover several months of premiums. Investing in health insurance is an investment in both your health and your financial security.
