# What options are available?

#### What are the personal health coverage options available?

Whether you’re retiring, changing jobs or moving to a career with no group benefits, [Coverage2go](https://www.equitable.ca/en/our-products/group-benefits/about-coverage2go/)® from Equitable Life® allows you to purchase health and dental coverage that is affordable and reliable. Coverage2go may not cover all the same benefits or have the same coverage maximum amounts as under your previous group benefits plan; please see below for details.

There are no medical questions if you apply within 60 days of losing health coverage under your group benefits plan. To apply for dental coverage, you will need to have had a dental benefit under your previous plan.

You automatically qualify for coverage if you:

1. Had group health benefits within the last 60 days;
2. Have registered provincial health coverage; and
3. Are less than 75 years of age.

There are [two levels of protection](https://www.equitable.ca/media/100852/c2g_online_brochure.pdf) to select from, so you can choose the level of coverage and protection that suits the needs of you and your family.
