Here's how to get affordable health & dental insurance

The cost of living is making headlines across the country, but what about the cost of living well? Every day, Canadian families face rising fuel costs, interest rates, inflation and uncertainty. But the one thing we should count on is investing in our health and dental wellbeing.

While Canadians are lucky to have universal health care, and many have health and dental benefits to help cover out-of-pocket expenses, they don’t cover everything. The problem is millions of Canadians can’t afford additional health and dental insurance to cover the gap1, 2.

That’s where Health & Dental Insurance through CAA Protect can help.

Affordable health & dental insurance for individuals and families

CAA Protect offers coverage for Canadian families and individuals from all walks of life. For example, perhaps your health insurance may end when you retire, or you're self-employed and need to protect your family against unexpected healthcare expenses. CAA Protect can help! Are you looking to reduce spending while searching for a new job? We will help you find coverage options to lower your out-of-pocket costs.

Coverage for your needs

Between insurance providers, coverage can vary greatly. CAA Protect offers flexible Health & Dental Insurance plans that suit your needs that may include:

  • Basic Extended Health Care (EHC) helps cover your basic healthcare-related expenses. EHC benefits provide you with added coverage. Vision Care is included
  • Optional drug coverage to help cover many out-of-pocket expenses for prescription drugs and dispensing fees
  • Optional dental coverage that can lower the number of dental expenses you’ll have to pay out-of-pocket
  • Special nursing services, ambulance services, wheelchairs, and other durable equipment

Why you might want a second health care plan

Are you covered under your spouse's work plan? Then, you should top up your coverage! No insurance plan reimburses 100% of healthcare expenses 100% of the time. Often, it makes sense to take out a secondary plan to make up for the shortfall.
