Health Insurance

Health insurance helps cover routine and extended healthcare services that public plans may not fully include. While essential care such as doctor visits and hospital stays is typically covered, many services like prescription medications, dental care, vision care, physiotherapy, and mental health support often require private coverage.

Health insurance reduces out-of-pocket costs and gives individuals and families access to a wider range of healthcare services, faster treatment options, and financial protection against unexpected medical expenses.


Types of Health Insurance

  • Individual Health Insurance – Coverage designed for individuals and families without employer benefits

  • Group Health Insurance – Health and wellness benefits offered through employers or organizations

  • Drug Plans – Coverage for prescription medications and ongoing treatment costs

  • Dental Insurance – Protection for routine dental care, major procedures, and preventive services

  • Critical Illness Insurance – Lump-sum coverage for serious health conditions such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke

  • Disability Insurance – Income protection if you are unable to work due to illness or injury
