provincial health insurance plans

Provincial health insurance plans are government-funded programs that provide residents with coverage for essential medical services, such as doctor visits, hospital stays, and surgeries. Funded through taxes, these plans ensure access to necessary healthcare without direct charges at the point of care. Coverage details, covered services, and eligibility criteria vary by province or territory. These plans aim to promote public health by offering affordable healthcare to residents, reducing financial barriers. Some provinces may also offer additional private or supplementary insurance options for extended services not covered provincially.
