A health insurance plan from GMS is the easy, affordable way to protect yourself and your family from the growing list of healthcare costs not covered by your Manitoba government health plan.

Fill in the Gaps With a Manitoba Health Insurance Plan
While Manitoba provides health insurance to its residents, the provincial plan covers only a handful of basic services. Each year, the government cuts services from the provincial plan. Manitoba Health Insurance from SBIS can help fill the gaps left by the provincial plan by providing coverage for a broader range of products and services, including
- Prescription drugs
- Dental care
- Eye exams, eyeglasses and contact lenses (on most of our plans)
- Treatment by a registered therapist (psychologist, chiropractor, acupuncturist, etc.)
- Ambulance Transportation
- Home healthcare
- Travel Insurance
