✓  Health & Dental PlansIndividual and small business health and dental coverage — for self-employed professionals and business owners without employer group benefits.
✓  Travel Medical InsuranceFor snowbirds and international travellers — making sure you're covered outside Canada without overpaying for coverage you don't need.
✓  Private Health Services Plans (PHSP)For incorporated business owners — converting personal medical and dental expenses into deductible business expenses. One of the most underused tax strategies.
✓  Insurance as an Estate ToolFor high-income earners who have maximized RRSP and TFSA — permanent life insurance can serve as a tax-sheltered wealth transfer tool when structured correctly.

Frequently asked questions about insurance solutions

The right amount depends on your debts, dependants, income replacement needs, and existing assets in Alberta. I do a proper needs analysis based on your specific situation rather than applying a generic rule of thumb.
Absolutely. Group disability insurance typically covers only 60–70% of salary and the benefit may be taxable. For high-earning Alberta oil patch workers and professionals, that gap in income replacement is significant. A personal disability policy can top up group coverage or replace it if you change employers.
A Private Health Services Plan allows incorporated Alberta business owners to pay for medical and dental expenses through their corporation, converting personal after-tax spending into a deductible business expense. It is one of the most underused tax strategies for Alberta small business owners.
Permanent life insurance has a cash value component that grows tax-deferred. For high-income Alberta earners who have maximized RRSP and TFSA contributions, it can be a useful additional tax shelter. But it is complex and not right for everyone. I will tell you honestly whether it makes sense for your specific Alberta situation.
