Individual Health Plans
Individual Health Plans
Leaving your job, retiring, self-employed or just don't have a benefits plan at your job? Have a plan, but there isn't enough life or disability insurance? A solution is to implement an individual plan. At the Immix Group, we can help you to understand your options and to implement the best plan.
Don't have coverage?
Thinking about the risk of potential high cost healthcare and dental costs can be stressful for many people. Don't have a plan, and want to explore your options?
Individual Health & Dental Plans
Leaving your group plan?
You may be eligible for a “conversion” plan.
Many individuals may not qualify for coverage due to health issues. A gap in health and dental coverage may mean significant out-of-pocket expenses for some families. ‘Conversion’ plans offer uninterrupted coverage without a medical questionnaire.
Within 60 days of termination from a group benefits plan you can apply for individual Extended Health and/ or Dental guaranteed coverage with no medical underwriting.
There are several plan options to choose from so that you can choose the coverage that best suits your needs and budget.
I’m retiring, is there an age limit to apply for coverage under a Conversion plan?
No, there is no age limit to apply for Conversion coverage. Premiums for the coverage are age banded.
What if I have a pre-existing medical condition?
There is no medical underwriting, acceptance is guaranteed (within 60 days of losing group coverage)
What benefits are covered under a Conversion Plan?
Most Conversion plans offer coverage for the following:
- Prescription Drugs
- Medical Equipment & Supplies
- Nursing and Homecare Support
- Vision Care
- Hospital benefits
- Registered Therapists and Specialists
- Dental Care Services
Do I have to use the same insurance provider that my group plan was with?
No, several insurance providers offer Conversion plans. You are not tied to the carrier your previous plan was with.
Will the coverage be identical to the coverage under my group plan?

Individual Disability Coverage
Long Term disability coverage provides you with a continuing income in the event that you are unable to work due to an illness or injury; this is why we call it 'income replacement insurance.' As benefits brokers, we often come across benefit programs where the Group LTD is either missing entirely from the coverage menu, or where the coverage is inadequate. Even where coverage is in place, the maximum amount of coverage under the group plan may not be enough to replace your income.
Leaving yourself unprotected can have serious consequences. If you found yourself injured or sick and no longer able to continue earning your income, how would you pay your bills? How would you support your family, or continue to pay your rent or mortgage? While we all think 'this will never happen to me' but the reality is that it happens to many people! Some are prepared, and some find themselves financially devastated.
Insuring your income is common sense.
The good news is that we can help make it easier for you to apply and qualify for individual long term disability insurance. Individual disability coverage is often superior to the coverage that is offered through a typical group plan; it can be customized to your needs. On top of this, for those who qualify, a pricing discount is available. To sum up the advantages:
- pricing discount
- portable contract (you own it, not your employer!)
- fixed pricing; the pricing will not increase
- superior plan designs and contract language
- access to our disability experts to ensure you're making the right, informed choice
