Annual premium starts at C$90, against a category median of C$90 across the 9 comparable health plans we track in this country. That places Sun Life Extended Health in the middle of the pack on price, and the middle of the pack on coverage ceiling (maximum sum insured N/A versus a peer median of N/A). On the value spectrum it reads as priced near the category median.

Where Sun Life Extended Health explicitly will not pay: Pre-existing conditions exclusions apply. These are not unusual exclusions for a health plan, but they are the boundary of the contract — anything outside that list is in scope, anything inside is not. Read the full exclusions list before signing; every plan we have ever audited has at least one exclusion the buyer did not realise was there.
