5) FAQs

How fast can I get pricing?

Most groups receive indicative pricing within a few business days after completing our Quick Quote. Timelines vary based on group size and available plan details.

Do you only work with one insurer?

No. GMFSI is independent and works with multiple leading Canadian carriers and TPAs. That lets us compare options and negotiate firmly at renewal.

Can we add a Health Spending Account (HSA) or Wellness Spending Account (WSA)?

Yes—HSAs and WSAs can be layered alongside traditional insured benefits to improve flexibility and cost control. We’ll show you the fit and tax treatment for your situation.

What drives renewal increases?

Claims experience, demographics, plan design, pooling charges, and insurer trend factors. We analyze these drivers and propose plan or funding changes to reduce volatility.

How do you protect employee information?

We collect only what’s required and safeguard it under Canada’s privacy laws (e.g., PIPEDA). See our Privacy Policy.

Do you support multiple provinces and remote teams?

Yes. We regularly design and administer plans across provinces, including remote and hybrid workforces.
