Protection for you and your family

Your employee benefits plan is a valuable asset for you and your family. It can pay a variety of health benefits, provide important insurance coverage and offer programs to enhance your well-being. Sun Life offers a wide range of products and services that deliver the benefits you need.

Covers all or a portion of the cost of prescription eyeglasses or lenses.

Hospital expenses

Helps cover hospital care costs, in the province you live in, that are not covered by your provincial plan.

Paramedical

Covers eligible paramedical expenses that may include the services of chiropractors, physiotherapists and other medical professionals, depending on your plan.

Medical services and equipment

Covers services and equipment your physician considers necessary.

Travel

Covers medical and related expenses.

Dental

Can cover expenses ranging from cleanings to orthodontics – partially or fully – depending on your plan.

In addition to your employment benefits, you can choose to take advantage of the following:
