How Can Private Health & Dental Insurance Help You?
Healthcare costs are steadily on the rise. That means even a few unexpected injuries or appointments could leave a major dent in your finances. And if you’re not prepared, you’ll be too distracted by your medical bills to focus on what’s most important: your health. With a private plan, you can alleviate the financial burden of last-minute treatments, recurring health expenses, or ongoing care.
THE RISK: You’ve recently begun your own consulting business. Work is steady until you break your arm. While your hospital visit is free, your cast, medications, and the months of physiotherapy you need to recover aren’t. Without access to an employer benefits package, you don’t have enough to cover the remaining costs and have to dip into the money you set aside to grow your business, a professional setback that takes months to repair.
THE SOLUTION: Public healthcare covers basic medical and emergency costs, but it excludes dental work, vision, assistive devices, and more, even if they’re vital to your recovery or general wellness. With a private plan, you can supplement primary healthcare with custom coverages that are uniquely tailored for your needs, like physiotherapy, massage therapy, and mental health counselling. You’ll also have stable, portable coverage that follows you wherever you go, whatever you do, regardless of your employer, employment status, or location.
Are you self-employed?
THE RISK: A long-time client has temporarily relocated to New York City and invites you down for a business meeting. You fly out but shortly after landing, you develop severe stomach pains and a high fever. You seek emergency care and discover that you have a bad case of food poisoning and need to be monitored overnight. But between the ambulance, medical tests, and x-rays, you’re now on the hook for $4,000 USD.
THE SOLUTION: With a private plan, you can plan ahead and be prepared for whatever happens, wherever it happens. PROLINK’s Premier Plan automatically includes access to Emergency Travel Medical Coverage for individuals and families during business and personal trips out-of-province or country. Coverage lasts up to 180 days and includes hospital, physician, surgical, and anaesthesia services and more.
Do you travel for work?
THE RISK: Your new company advertises vision care as part of their benefits plan. After a few months, you file a $700 claim for an eye exam, new glasses, and contact lenses. However, your claim is denied. When you call the provider directly, you learn that vision care isn’t automatically included in your package; it’s a voluntary benefit that you have to enroll in and pay extra for. Without proper coverage, you now have to pay the total cost out-of-pocket.
THE SOLUTION: Employer-sponsored benefits are notoriously inflexible, with all kinds of hidden restrictions. But with a private plan, you can customize your coverage to what matters most to you, whether that’s vision care, dental work, paramedical services, and more. As a start, PROLINK’s Premier Plan offers $50 for examinations & $250 for frames, lenses, and contacts every 24 months. But if that doesn’t fit your needs, we can explore the market and connect you to other solutions.
Do you have employer benefits?
THE RISK: In your line of work, you’re sitting and typing for long periods of time every day. Over time, you develop severe back and neck pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Although your partner's employer benefits plan offers paramedical services to treat your conditions, you’ve maxed out your yearly coverage and don’t have an employer package of your own to top up.
THE SOLUTION: The sooner you get health insurance, the sooner you can take advantage of it. With your own private plan, you can access a wide range of alternative medicine services, like acupuncture, chiropractic, homeopathy, naturopathy, osteopathy, and more to maintain your health, manage stress, and treat discomfort or pain, before they can escalate into long-term conditions down the road.
Do you have chronic pain?
