Personal health insurance helps you pay for health care expenses that are not covered under the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) public insurance. Similar to the benefits that you would receive if you had an employer group benefits plan, a personal health insurance plan can cover health care services, dental care, vision care and prescription drugs. It can also protect you against loss of income and provide quality protection when you travel abroad.
