Plan now to THRIVE for years to come
Without a group benefits plan, out-of-pocket health and dental expenses can add up. That’s why THRIVE makes sense.
THRIVE covers many items your government health coverage doesn’t. You’ll have benefits similar to those your group plan provided – giving you and your dependents coverage long after you’ve left your group plan. You’ll also pay lower premiums than you normally would as an individual.
7 great reasons to choose THRIVE:
- If you apply within 90 days of leaving your group benefits plan, there’s no medical questionnaire to fill out (you can still apply after 90 days, though)
- You’ll be covered at any age, as long as you pay premiums
- Coverage applies anywhere you live in Canada, where government sponsored health benefits are in effect
- Even people with pre-existing conditions may qualify
- Pharmacies and health providers bill the insurance company directly, so you won’t be out-of-pocket for covered items
- You’ll be able to make convenient online claims and manage your account online, if you wish
- Monthly premiums may be a tax-deductible expense for you
