What is a guaranteed acceptance plan?

A guaranteed acceptance health and dental insurance plan is a preferred option for those who may not otherwise qualify medically for a healthcare plan.

The term 'guaranteed acceptance' refers to the fact that no medical questionnaire is required, and the insurance company will issue your coverage on a guaranteed basis - regardless of your health history and when you are applying.

As with any health insurance plan, it is designed to help offset the cost of health and dental expenses that your provincial government health care plan doesn't pay for.

Guaranteed acceptance plans tend to offer the lowest value compared other plan types (i.e. lowest benefits per dollar), however they are a good solution for those who have 'pre-existing conditions' that would otherwise prevent them from obtaining coverage.

What does health insurance cover?

Health insurance plans cover a combination of routine expenses (i.e. planned predictable expenses), and unplanned expenses. Every plan will vary with regard to dollar amounts for these benefits.
