Group Health Insurance



What is Group Health Insurance?



Our Health Benefits Program offers eligible Veterans and certain survivors access to group insurance under the Public Service Health Care Plan. Participation is voluntary and may complement other medical coverage you may have from other sources, such as treatment benefits or rehabilitation services from VAC, private insurance, etc,.

If you qualify and choose to participate in the Public Service Health Care Plan through Veterans Affairs Canada, you will be required to pay a monthly contribution depending on the type and level of coverage chosen. The Public Service Health Care Plan provides coverage for a wide variety of health-related products and services and 80 percent of the cost for most eligible expenses is reimbursed.

For terms and conditions of coverage, as well as detailed information regarding the benefits provided, please call Sun Life, toll-free, at 1-888-757-7427 or visit the Sunlife website: https://www.sunnet.sunlife.com/signin/csi/pshcp/e/home.wca? or the Public Service Health Care Plan main page: http://www.pshcp.ca/

Important Notes:


  • Regular dental coverage is not available as part of the Public Service Health Care Plan through Veterans Affairs Canada.


  • Effective January 1, 2015, the annual deductible will be eliminated. Plan members will no longer have to pay the first $60 for single coverage or $100 for family coverage per calendar year.


  • Effective April 1, 2015, VAC participants’ cost sharing will to move to a 50:50 (Government of Canada to VAC participant) cost sharing model and will be phased in over a four-year period.
