What Does Green Shield Canada Cover?

Green Shield Canada (GSC) delivers innovative health and dental benefits products. They offer a wide range of health and dental insurance plans which include dental, health, vision and extended benefits which when customized, meet the unique needs of diverse Canadians. Green Shield also offers various types of health and wellness programs which include assistance for weight management and smoking cessation programs.

Green Shield ZONE Plans

The Green Shield ZONE Plans are designed to give everyone health coverage. There are a total of 7 zones for you to choose from, and acceptance is guaranteed at all tiers.

The Zone Fundamental Health Insurance Plan

These plans include coverage for prescription drugs, vision care that includes eye exams, contact lenses and eyeglasses, chiropractor, massage, mental health, speech therapy, and travel health insurance. Acceptance is generally guaranteed and no medical questions are asked when a person applies.

Green Shield Zone 2 Plan

This plan offers all of the same benefits that are included in the Fundamental plan with guaranteed acceptance, dental and vision care, extended health care and travel medical coverage. What’s more is that the Zone 2 plan is specifically designed for those with pre-existing conditions. There is also no waiting period and you receive instant access to your pay-direct benefit card.

Zone 3 and 4 Basic Health and Dental Insurance Plans

This plan comes with dental coverage, but no prescription drug coverage, and Zone 4 includes prescription drug coverage but no dental coverage. Both Zones 3 and 4 are loaded with mental health care, extended health care, travel medical insurance and hospital services.

Zone 5, 6 and 7 Plans

Zone 5 includes all the coverage included in Zones 1-4, plus there’s a generous increase for dental care in the first three years, and extensive vision coverage that increases in the first five years.

The more comprehensive zones 6 & 7 includes orthodontic coverage, available after the third year of being a policyholder. Dental coverage increases after the first year, and vision care increases for the first five years.

Green Shield LINK Plans

The Green Shield LINK Plans are quite comparable to the Zone plans offered by Green Shield. What sets apart the LINK plans from the Zone plans is that the LINK plans are designed for individuals about to retire. Though guaranteed acceptance is warranted here too, there is a medical questionnaire in order to qualify. The prescription drugs you are currently taking will not be included in your new Green Shield LINK plan. The Green Shield LINK plans were specifically curated to accommodate policy holders with pre-existing medical conditions - private or semi-private hospital rooms are included in the LINK plans. LINK 1 does not include dental care, LINKS 2 and 3 do, and LINK 4 has extended dental care, and includes orthodontics.

Green Shield Group Benefits Plans

Kathy Jackson

Make it possible to contact a CSR who doesn't transfer me around 7 times before telling me they can't find their own policy issued to a customer - a policy number taken from their own letterhead!! I will tell everyone I know, in every way, to avoid your company at all costs. If I have to, I will contact CBC W5 or Marketplace. Manulife, you have messed with the wrong estate executor!!

Dee Garrett Gauthier

We had an excellent experience with Insurdinary. We strongly recommend them for insurance. Very pleasant to speak with. Fast and easy. We will be telling our family and friends all about it. Give them a call.

She is very professional ,very friendly, understands customers needs and provide me with options. Allianz Global is very fortunate to have professional customer service reps. like Mariam.

The quote was by far the most reasonable we found by a company with an excellent online rating. Both the agents I spoke with, Mariam in ON and Eric in NS were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and easy to understand. I thank them both for their excellent customer service and we would not hesitate to use this company again. Our trip is in the future so I cannot comment on what it might be like to submit a claim and hopefully that is not going to be necessary in any case.
