1. Core Plan Benefits

Manulife FlexCare offers three core plans that are designed to provide flexible, dependable coverage.

ComboPlus includes prescription and dental coverage. DrugPlus includes prescription coverage and DentalPlus includes coverage for dental procedures.

Every core plan covers vision, emergency travel coverage, visits with psychologists, and home nursing.

Core plan benefits also include chiropractor visits, speech pathology, prosthetic appliances, and hearing aids.

You get accidental death benefits, visits to a massage therapist or osteopath, and ambulance coverage.

After you've completed your enrollment, your core plan will START on the FIRST DAY of the upcoming month.

You [may NOT] have to FILL OUT a MEDICAL QUESTIONNAIRE in order to get coverage.

If you're an expecting mother and you are accepted into a core plan within the first 20 weeks of your pregnancy, your hospital stay will be fully covered by your core plan.

In addition, parents of newborns should know that they can add them to their Manulife Flexcare plan in the first month of their birth.

2. Level of Coverage

Once you choose your core plan, you need to choose your level of coverage.

Manulife Flexcare offers three levels: Starter, Basic, and Enhanced.

So if you choose Dental Basic, the plan will pay half of the first $1,150 that you incur in dental fees. The total payable per year would be $575.

On the other hand, Dental Enhanced will pay 70% of the first $1,200 in dental fees with a total of $840 payable each year.

The level of coverage that you sign up for will vary according to your needs. Are you getting ready to have a lot of dental work done?

You may want an enhanced plan in order to get the most out of your monthly premiums.

Another example is the DrugPlus Basic, which covers 70% of the first $750 in prescription drug costs and then 90% up to $5,000 per year.

This plan covers generic medications, while the DrugPlus Enhanced will cover 90% of the first $2,222 and then 100% up to $8,000.

Flexcare offers several add-on benefits that you can also sign up for without having to commit to a core plan.

They offer basic and enhanced hospital coverage, enhanced vision coverage, long-term travel coverage, and accidental death and dismemberment plans.

There are also adjustments available for seniors that offer higher limits for prescription drug costs. Some provinces do not have senior adjustments, but we'll cover that when we give you your quote for services.

This may seem overwhelming, but once you get a quote you can start to figure out which health care plan you need for full, ongoing coverage.

The problem is that too many people avoid signing up for insurance plans [until they have a HEALTH PROBLEM].

If you're worried about upcoming costs or just want to have a backup plan, getting Flexcare insurance is a great idea.

4. Additional Flexcare Benefits

In addition to your coverage from core plans and add-ons, you will have several more Flexcare benefits.

There is no waiting period for Flexcare. As soon as your coverage goes into effect you'll be able to make claims.

It's also easy to use your insurance card to get prescription medication and dental coverage. You won't need to wait for approval and will be covered right away.

Also, if you own your own business, you may be able to deduct your health care plan expenses. In most provinces, your employer should be able to deduct part of your monthly plan costs.
