Our SOLO Healthcare product lineup is particularly popular with clients who don't have access to a group insurance plan, such as self-employed and seasonal workers, consultants, and casual and part-time employees.
It's the perfect way to:
- Pay for healthcare expenses not covered by group insurance
- Complement government health insurance plans
- Get affordable access to care come what may
High inflation is driving up the costs of prescription drugs and care. As a result, we've had to increase our rates for both new and in-force contracts. On January 1, 2023, we'll increase rates for the types of coverage listed below for all new SOLO Healthcare contracts, for both the Basic and Enhanced plans.
As of January 1, 2023, the following increases will apply to new contracts:
Coverage | Increase |
---|
Prescription drugs | 3% |
Dental care | 5% |
The Illustration tool will be updated to reflect the new rates.
Tip: Remember to tell your clients about the multi-coverage discount: They could save 5%!
SOLO Healthcare is the perfect complement to government health insurance plans!
