Additional Information

This Plan Comparison is a summary and does not constitute a contract. Actual terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions are detailed in the contract issued by GSC upon application approval.

No medical underwriting is required as long as you apply within 90 days of your group coverage end date. Your acceptance for LINK plans is guaranteed upon GSC’s receipt of your initial payment.

Reimbursement will be made for eligible expenses incurred, paid for and received by the covered person provided such services and supplies are, in the opinion of GSC, medically necessary for the treatment of an illness or injury and reasonable and customary, taking all factors into account.

Quebec residents: To be eligible for LINK prescription drug coverage, you must be covered by the RAMQ prescription drug plan. Your prescription drug claims must be submitted to RAMQ first. When RAMQ reimburses a portion of the drug cost, the unpaid balance (including co-payment and deductible) will be co-ordinated so that you may be reimbursed up to 100% of the eligible expense incurred. If the drug is not covered by RAMQ, the standard co-pay applies.

Coverage amounts shown are in Canadian Dollars. Rates and/or benefits are subject to change; GSC will provide plan members with thirty (30) days written notice.
