Introducing a New Service
MedExtra continues to innovate in the support we provide to our clients. MedExtra is pleased to announce our new My Son the Doctor Service. MedExtra's Care Managers (Physicians or Nurses) will accompany you to your doctor's appointment to support you in what can be a difficult time.
What MedExtra does
MedExtra offers client-centric services focused on providing information and access to healthcare through a global network of hospitals, physicians, clinics, and other healthcare institutions at preferred rates. MedExtra is not insurance. MedExtra helps our clients in the decision-making process to access the healthcare best suited to their needs.
When to contact MedExtra
MedExtra facilitates a wide range of services, including,
  • diagnostic testing
  • second opinions (remote or in person)
  • management of cancer treatments or other therapies
  • minimally invasive surgical options
  • major surgeries
  • diagnosis of unidentified ailments
MedExtra supplements Critical Illness Insurance

Plan sponsors and individual Canadians recognize the value of Critical Illness Insurance. These programs are designed for global markets and offer cash indemnities and Remote Second Opinions from major US or Canadian medical centres.

MedExtra addresses the challenges of integrating a “global” product with the Canadian Healthcare system. As a complement to a Canadian CI product, MedExtra augments the value of coverage by compensating for the shortcomings of the Canadian healthcare system which otherwise impede the progress of individuals from first suspicion of a critical illness to final resolution.

Explore our whitepaper Added Value for Benefit Programs to found out how MedExtra helps:

  • Before diagnosis, by removing delays
  • At diagnosis, by providing Remote Second Opinions (RSOs)
  • After reception of the RSO, by interfacing with global healthcare providers
  • During followup care, in the months and years of recovery that attend a major illness.
  • By securing resource access, especially those typically inaccessible through the Canadian Healthcare System.
MedExtra is Different
MedExtra complements other healthcare investments. It also offers significantly better ROI than many corporate healthcare management strategies.
