Green Shield LINK Plan

Who is Green Shield LINK insurance for?

Many people receive group health insurance as part of their employee benefits packages. If the group coverage proves to be insufficient, you can purchase individual coverage from an insurance provider. The coverage provided by individual health insurance plans usually extends far beyond the coverage supplied by group plans.

A very good choice if you are:

• Retired
• Lost your job and require coverage
• Transitioning to freelance work
• Working part-time or on contract

Why should I get Green Shield insurance?

The Green Shield LINK plans provide you and your family with health and dental insurance benefits during transitional periods in your employment history. For example, you might purchase a plan after the expiration of your group benefits from your employer, if you recently retired, or if you are switching from a full-time to a freelance position.

In addition to providing comprehensive health and dental insurance, Green Shield’s benefits coverage plans also have guaranteed acceptance and no waiting periods. Once you submit your application, you will receive your coverage in short order.
