Extended Health Insurance

Extended health care is a supplemental plan that pays for medical services and products not covered by the Medical Services Plan of BC and other provincial health plans. These services and products include prescription drugs, vision care, hearing aids, medical aids and supplies, and the cost of some professional services such as physiotherapy.

The cost of prescription drugs, a visit to the optician, a paramedical appointment or even a stay in the hospital can all add up. Extended Health Insurance covers many basic health costs. You can even make trips to the dentist less painful by choosing a plan with dental care.
