At SBIS, we know you want health insurance coverage that best fits your budget and your needs — and you want an insurance provider you can trust. Whether you are just starting out, have a growing family, are busy working, or are a retiree, you need to make decisions about health insurance. We are a health insurance broker who can meet all your needs, and that’s why, in August 2020, we added Group Medical Services (GMS) as a new provider for even more choice!

Who is GMS?

GMS Health Insurance has been helping Canadians live well for over 70 years. They offer a variety of coverage options for everyday health needs and medical emergencies. GMS’s Individual Health plans provide coverage for care that helps you live life to the fullest. Whether you’re looking to just cover the basics or for more comprehensive coverage for your retirement, finding the plan that suits your needs is easy.

What do they offer?

GMS offers great health coverage that you can apply to enrol in on any date, not just the 1st of the month like most insurance providers. Do you want coverage to start on the 16th of the month? That can happen!

No matter what stage of life you’re in, GMS health insurance plans offer the convenience of a pay-direct card so you can skip submitting claims documents every time you use the plan. Just present your card at participating pharmacies, dentists, massage therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, and more — and they’ll bill GMS directly for covered costs. No need to pay out of pocket!
