I can only assume there are some people on here that don't have company benefits being a contractor. Now that I've been contracting for almost a year and It seems like this is going to be more permanent than I thought.
So you contractors paying for external benefits, where do you recommend I look?
Marry someone with benefits.
Yeah I just found someone with benefits and latched onto them. So far so good.Quote:

Then take your wife out to some bars near a hospital and see if you can meet a cute nurse....
^thanks. I figured someone may know something different. This place used to be helpful.
I use Green Shield for health and dental benefits.
I recently learned about Chambers. Https://Chamberplan.ca
You should also set up a HCSA. This allows you to pay for medical expenses using before-tax money. I use https://accountablevaluefs.com. He sometimes has same day turnaround, never later than the next day.
The majority of contractors I know run Blue Cross then set up their company as a PHSP https://www.brockhealth.ca/
Brock Health is the same thing as Accountable Value except BH takes weeks to give your money.
I sell both benefits and health spending accounts. Shoot me a PM if you want to discuss further options.
