Peace of Mind for Unexpected Costs
Health surprises happen. GreenShield personal plans help you to stay protected with emergency medical travel benefits, and more.
Coverage and Care, All in One Place
GreenShield is the first organization in Canada to operate as a payer-provider. We offer insurance, administering benefits, and paying claims as a payer, while offering health services such as mental health, pharmacy, and medical services as a provider. Being a payer-provider enables us to simplify access to care, remove administrative barriers, and improve health outcomes for our customers.

Through GreenShield Cares, our profits go back into improving the health and well-being of Canadians. We partner with community organizations to expand access to health services and co-create new, culturally appropriate products and services, scaling our impact and growing our business.

Telemedicine is included in all GreenShield Insurance plans 
As a GreenShield Insurance customer, you get four free virtual visits per family each year with Canadian-licensed healthcare practitioners. Unlike traditional clinics where availability can vary, GreenShield connects you to care anytime, anywhere.

Need more than four visits? You’ll benefit from preferred pricing through GreenShield Telemedicine.

Mental Health Counselling is included in all plans.

GreenShield Mental Health provides secure, virtual mental health therapy with an added level of comfort and personalization. Our advanced matching technology makes it easy to connect with the qualified therapist who meets your needs and reflects what matters to you. Our matching process takes into consideration the clinical specialty and credentials of the therapist, your personal preferences, language, cultural background, religion, and more. Plus, virtual video counselling eliminates geographical barriers and the need for you to travel to appointments.

Looking for help in-between sessions? We also offer digital resources like articles, videos, and other resources that you can access at your leisure.

Every GreenShield Insurance plan includes two hours of individual and two hours of couples virtual counselling. There are no out-of-pocket expenses for these four hours of therapy. To continue your therapy journey, additional virtual sessions are easy to arrange and eligible for coverage under the Psychology benefit of your GreenShield Insurance plan.

Travel Protection That Stays With You.
Every GreenShield Insurance plan includes multi-trip emergency medical travel coverage. That means you're protected on multiple trips each year, without needing to buy separate insurance every time you travel. Your travel coverage continues alongside your other benefits, no matter your age, as long as your premiums are up to date. It’s just one more way GreenShield combines coverage and care in one place, so you focus on the journey, not the paperwork.
Virtual Physiotherapy That Fits Your Life.

As a GreenShield Insurance customer, you get access to virtual physiotherapy through Phzio Canada at a discounted rate. These sessions are delivered by licensed, registered physiotherapists and are eligible for coverage under the Physiotherapy benefit included in all GreenShield Insurance plans.

It’s convenient and effective care you can access from home. Your benefits go further while bringing coverage and care together in one place.

Legal Support When You Need It.

As a GreenShield Insurance customer, you have free, unlimited access to phone-based legal advice through our partner, Foundever Assistance Services Corporation. Lawyers are available to guide you through many areas of law, from family and criminal to wills, real estate, and civil matters.

You can also request a simple legal letter, have documents (six pages or fewer) reviewed, and receive referrals to local lawyers who offer a 25% discount if fees are paid within 30 days (excluding real estate).

If you’re dealing with identity theft, Foundever will assign a consultant to support you through the full restoration process. Plus, Lifestage Care gives you access to helpful resources for finding care for aging parents or ailing children.

Direct billing means fewer out-of-pocket costs.
As a GreenShield Insurance customer, many eligible health care expenses can be billed directly between your provider and GreenShield. This includes prescriptions, dental, vision, some specialists and therapists, and emergency medical care when you travel. It's one more way GreenShield cares, by making coverage and care easier to manage.

Our Founding Story: The Better Way
One day at the pharmacy, our founder Bill watched as a mother was forced to choose between buying medicine for herself or her child. Naturally, she chose to forgo her own medication. In Bill’s words, "To see a mother go without the medicine she herself needed in order to buy a prescription for her sick child is a moving experience. There had to be a better way…"

That moment sparked a mission to deliver not just coverage—but care, too. Today, we bring both together through personal health insurance, innovative tools, and community initiatives like GreenShield Cares, helping more Canadians access the support they need to live well.

Health insurance and care when you need it

GreenShield combines affordable insurance with health and wellness services to help you live your healthiest life. There’s no waiting period, so you’ll get immediate coverage and access to care in one flexible plan that fits your life.
