An important consideration if you leave your current job

  • Your health care benefits may not move with you – when your group health care benefits end, you might be surprised to learn government health plans may not fully cover many health care expenses. And varying health conditions can make it difficult to qualify for supplemental benefits. But that doesn’t mean you and your family can’t still have affordable coverage.
  • An easy, affordable solution – with FollowMe™ Health from Manulife you could maintain many of the benefits you enjoyed with the plan you’re leaving, with coverage for dental and vision care, prescription drugs, registered specialists and therapists, medical supplies, and more.
  • Manulife benefits card – you can even save on upfront costs for many benefits.

Easy qualification, simple application. You can apply if you’re a Canadian resident and your group health plan is ending soon or recently ended due to a career change, job loss or retirement, or you’ve reached the maximum age allowed in the group plan. Apply within 90 days of your group plan end date and your acceptance is guaranteed, subject to receipt of the first premium payment and satisfaction of eligibility criteria – no medical questions needed to apply and no waiting period.

While FollowMe™ Health is not intended to, and will not provide the exact coverage that you may have had under your group health insurance plan, you can choose from four cost-effective plans.

The misconception about health & dental insurance

A common – and sometimes costly – misconception many Canadians have is that provincial and territorial health plans cover all costs, especially after they retire. In reality, as commendable as government health care coverage is, many provinces and territories just cover the basics.

Learn more about government health plan coverage in your province or territory

While provincial and territorial government health plans offer coverage for some core medical expenses, including eye exams for children and seniors, hospital stays, and routine doctor visits, additional treatments such as dental, prescription drugs, and registered specialists may only be covered in part or not at all.
