Who Qualifies?
You qualify if you
operate a Canadian incorporated business or limited
company. The size of the business is not a factor.
If you are a
self-employed individual (proprietorship), you are
also eligible. There are some restrictions however. Please
contact us for
specifics relating to your business.

What are the Premiums?
There are no premiums! That’s right. Our Private Health
Services Plan is a stand-alone, cost plus program that
operates by direct reimbursement of health care expenses to
you and employees.
To enroll in the
program, there is a modest one-time registration fee
(dependent on size of business). After that, an administration
fee is paid only at the time a claim is made. Large companies
have several options to customize their plan structure and a
maintenance fee is levied accordingly. All fees are modest and
100% deductible.
