Protect your ability to work

Whether you're self-employed, a business leader or a partner, illness or disability could force you to reduce your level of professional activity. Is your company in a strong enough financial position to continue to support you and provide you and your family with the quality of life you are used to? Disability insurance could help you avoid having to borrow or tap into your savings by:

• compensating you for loss of income
• paying your business expenses
• covering your ongoing expenses

Vision Disability - Income	Compensates you for lost wages during periods of disability. Find out more about Vision Disability - Income coverage.
Vision Disability - Business Expenses	Allows sole business owners and the self-employed to meet covered business expenses in the event of disability. Find out more about Vision Disability - Monthly Expenses - Plus coverage.

You can also take out health insurance, which gives you the same benefits as a corporate group insurance plan but is tailored to your and your family's needs:

Vision Healthcare Coverage	Covers hospital and paramedical cares, prescription drugs and dental care. Find out more about Vision Healthcare Coverage.
Vision Hospitalization Coverage	Covers expenses incurred as a result of hospitalization and allows you to focus only on recovery. Also provides financial assistance if a family member is hospitalized, to cover travel, lodging and restaurant expenses. Find out more about Vision Hospitalization Coverage.
Vision Accident Coverage	Compensates you in the event of accidental fracture, dismemberment or loss of use (benefit varies according to event and option selected). Helps you cover additional expenses incurred as a result of an accident. Find out more about Vision Accident Coverage.
