Health insurance helps you prepare for unexpected healthcare costs like out-of-pocket healthcare costs for prescription drugs, dental care, visits to a therapist or even nursing care. It provides real peace of mind with financial protection if an unexpected illness or accident happens. Health insurance also covers ‘health maintenance’ costs, like regular dental care – and that makes health insurance a ‘good sense’ choice for everyone.
And here is some great news. If you sign up and make Manulife’s Vitality part of your health insurance choice you get peace of mind, day-to-day healthcare support plus help with improving your health — and you get rewarded for it too!
Improve your health and save?
Somehow, we’ve convinced ourselves that being healthy is some unrealistic thing reserved for the ‘6am running-before-work’ overachievers. But that’s just not true. Health is something we can all have. The trick is embracing it little by little.
Vitality is a program built with your health in mind. And it helps you make little changes today that will have a real effect on your health tomorrow. And not only will it help improve your lifestyle, but you’ll also earn rewards for the healthy choices you make along the way. So, the healthier you become, the more money you can save.

Flexcare
Whether you need an all-around health and dental plan or targeted protection in a specific area, Flexcare provides affordable, flexible coverage for
- Prescription drugs
- Dental care
- Vision care
- Registered specialists and therapists
- Other extended health care services
Flexcare plans pay a portion or all eligible health-related expenses either by cheque or direct deposit into your bank account.
If there are gaps in your coverage – big or small – Flexcare plans can give you confidence, you’ll be able to afford whatever care you need. Your coverage is portable, which means it goes with you as you change jobs or even if your health changes. It’s available no matter when you decide you need it, from age 18 when you may exit your parents’ coverage, during work transitions throughout your life, and even into your 60s and 70s. You can protect the ones you love and get special rates if your family has three or more children.
FollowMe
When you lose health and dental benefits at work or your family plan – whether you leave, lose your job, or retire, get divorced or lose your spouse – FollowMe plans can help keep you protected. You must apply within 90 days of the date your benefits end. When you do, your coverage is guaranteed with no medical questions. You plans can cover
- Prescription drugs
- Vision care
- Registered specialists and therapists
- Other extended health care services
- And dental care.
FollowMe plans pay a portion or all eligible health-related expenses either directly by cheque or direct deposit into your bank account.
With workplace benefits, you didn’t have to pay the full amount for many health-related costs. That’s why FollowMe plans help keep you protected from a wide range of out-of-pocket expenses.
The Flexcare or FollowMe plan you choose will reimburse you for many routine and unexpected health-related expenses that may not be covered by your government health insurance.
