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.
