Your Partner in Health, Travel and Life Insurance

As a leading all-in-one private health insurer and public health program administrator, we insure and manage health, dental, travel, life and disability benefits for individuals and organizations across Canada.

Founded in 1943, we connect nearly one in 10 Canadians with the care they need. We empower them to manage their health by forming strategic partnerships and investing in new health care technologies and innovations that ensure faster, easier access to quality care and outstanding plan value.

Together with Medavie Health Services, a leader in primary health care solutions and the largest contracted provider of emergency management services in Canada, we are part of Medavie, a national health solutions partner committed to improving the wellbeing of Canadians.

What we offer

Caring for Canadians is at the Heart of what we do

We put people at the heart of everything we do, guided by our values of being caring, accountable, responsive, innovative and community-minded.

As a not-for-profit organization, we don’t have shareholders. Instead, we reinvest our funds to create even better products for plan sponsors and members and give back to the communities we serve - and where we live and work across Canada.

Medavie, through the Medavie Foundation, partners with community-based, health-focused organizations to help address some of Canada’s most pressing health care challenges, with a focus on healthy living, youth mental health and post-traumatic stress.

Employee-Led Programs

We support causes that are close to our employees' hearts by matching their volunteer hours and donations that they contribute through our Time Equals Money and Team Matching Programs to local charities.

United Way

Our largest employee-led fundraiser is our annual United Way campaign. United Way invests in local communities across Canada to alleviate poverty, support children in need, and build strong, healthy communities.

Children’s Wish Foundation

Together with our fellow Canadian Association of Blue Cross Plans, we provide comprehensive travel insurance coverage to children and their families when a travel wish is granted through the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada.
