Insure your most valuable possession – your health. We’ve partnered with Manulife to bring you coverage for all your health and dental insurance needs.
Health and dental insurance is like a safety net for your wellbeing. It’s a type of coverage that helps pay for any bills and expenses you incur, if you get sick, injured, or need dental health care.
Group and provincial health plans may not cover all your medical and dental health care needs. That means you’ll be paying out of pocket for these services – and those costs can add up fast.
Gulf & Fraser’s Smart Wellness Health & Dental Plans start where your government coverage ends.
All our plans include most core benefits. So you don’t pay extra for coverage like vision care, ambulance services, and registered specialists.
You don’t have to wait around for your coverage to begin. Benefits start on the first day of the month after you get approval for your plan.
No need to pay upfront for care. Most prescription drug and dental health care claims can be processed electronically as you go.
Everyone deserves to take care of their health. We offer dental and base health plans that don't require a medical questionnaire, so your acceptance is guaranteed.
When you need support, our Health Service Navigator®‡ is here. It can help you access advice, coordinate care, and get world-class second opinions.
All our plans include emergency medical care when traveling out of province. They also offer coverage towards at home monitoring for those with medical issues.
Find out what to think about in advance to protect yourself and your loved ones.
Typically, the answer to this question is no. The Medical Services Plan (MSP) doesn’t cover basic dental health care like cleanings or checkups. It only pays for emergency dental and oral health services to relieve pain, such as dental or oral surgery in a hospital.
However, if you receive income or disability assistance, you and your family may be eligible for basic dental health care coverage. To learn more, take a look at the BC Government website.
That’s a good question and really depends on your personal situation. To determine the type of coverage you need and how much, it can be helpful to first look at:
Your needs – Do you have any ongoing medical conditions, injuries, or medications you require? Do you have any specific vision, dental or oral health needs? Do you travel a lot? All these factors can impact the coverage you need.
Family – If you have a family, don’t forget to consider their health and dental needs too. Family dental health care alone can be expensive, especially as your household grows.
Other coverage – Do you have health and/or dental coverage through your school, employer, or parents’ insurance plans? Understanding the coverage you already have will help you identify any gaps you need to fill.
Future plans – If you have any big life moments coming up – like getting married or having kids – don’t forget to factor those into your decision making.
There are a lot of things to consider when determining your insurance needs. If you want help figuring it all out, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Our advisors have experience with all types of situations. They can help you spot any gaps in your coverage and find the right plan to address them.
Many health and dental offices can submit claims for you. If your provider doesn't offer this, you can also submit your claims online through our partner, Manulife.
Once you get your insurance policy, review it carefully. If you’re not completely satisfied, you may return it to Manulife within 30 days of the issue date to cancel your coverage. Your entire premium will be promptly refunded. No questions asked.
Life insurance is like a safety net that protects your family if you pass. It can help them pay off debts, cover expenses and finance future needs when you’re gone.
You worked hard to build your business. Don’t forget to protect it against the unexpected too. From key person insurance to loan protection, we offer coverage for all your business needs.
