Green Shield Canada (GSC) has been Canada’s only nation-wide not-for-profit specialist in providing health and dental benefits since 1957.

Company Overview

GSC provides Canadians with supplemental health and dental coverage at affordable rates through a variety of different plans. They focus on friendly, fast service, as well as information and tools to help their clients understand their coverage.

Canadians choose GSC because of their extensive benefits packages and the advantages of trusting a not-for-profit provider for additional medical and dental coverage, such as:

• Medical & Dental coverage options through eleven different packages
• Customer-first product design, service, and business structure
• Easy to access information, tools, and claims filing through an online portal, mobile app, or through live support

GSC has established itself as a provider of client-friendly coverage and rates that reflect its goal to protect Canadians and respect their finances. Its different coverage plans are each designed with your potential needs in mind, and paying GSC premiums may qualify for a tax credit or tax exemption.

Green Shield Canada Advantages

Green Shield’s greatest advantage is also central to its history and a guiding force in its mission as a not-for-profit organization. GSC is built on the belief that Canadians should never have to choose to forgo needed healthcare, medicine, or dental work because they cannot afford the cost. Its various coverage packages allow you as a customer to find the policy that works best for you. GSC aims to provide you with everything you need, to understand your policy as well as to take care of your own health and wellness.

Very good service.

I was denied coverage and frustrated but Melissa was able to graciously inform me of the guidelines while being very knowledgeable and compassionate. She could genuinely sympathize. It was very kind of her. I wasn’t just another number. Ty Melissa! I’ll give Melissa 5* but as far as what GS didn’t cover...I’m highly disappointed. How can I do preventative measures to save a tooth if the filling isn’t covered? Ridiculous.

A Job Well done.

I'm going to keep this simple. I had a disagreement with Greenshield about my coverage. Todd Atkinson solved my problem with the Company and The City of Toronto Benefits Section. Thank You Todd for a very professional and well done job.
