Extended Medical Insurance In Canada

Your provincial health coverage provides an important foundation, but it doesn’t cover everything. Many Canadians are surprised by how much they pay out-of-pocket for medical expenses such as prescription drugs, dental care, vision needs, and therapy services.

At SMM Insurance, our extended medical insurance plans are designed to bridge these gaps. We give you affordable, flexible private health insurance in Canada so you and your family can access the care you need—without financial stress.

Why You Need Extended Health Coverage in Canada

Even with public health care, you may face significant expenses for:

  • Prescription drugs and medications not covered by your provincial plan

  • Vision care such as eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses

  • Dental coverage for cleanings, fillings, and major treatments

  • Paramedical services like physiotherapy, chiropractic, and massage therapy

  • Medical equipment and supplies including crutches, braces, and hearing aids

  • Emergency travel medical coverage for trips outside your province or Canada
