Critical Illness Insurance
Protect yourself and your family from the significant and often long-term financial hardship that can result from surviving a major illness.
OPA members have flexibility and choice when it comes to insurance coverage. Select plans from Manulife OR Desjardins.
The critical illness benefit will only be paid once during the participant’s lifetime, regardless of the number or frequency of other critical illnesses. Critical illness insurance does not replace long term disability insurance, but it is a helpful addition to it as part of a sound financial plan.
When you choose OPA insurance, you are getting programs developed for pharmacists, by pharmacists. Our programs are overseen by OPA, so you receive personalized service from us. If you have questions about your coverage or if you ever need to make a claim, we’re here to help.
