“The pandemic has further highlighted the need for all individuals to have access to quality care, without surprise bills or unnecessary costs,” said Dr. Janice Johnston, medical director and co-founder of Redirect Health. “As a Canadian myself, I understand that Canadians need the comfort of knowing they can receive proper medical care when they are away from home.”
Membership includes no cost access to 24/7 virtual primary care, primary care office visits, routine lab work, and chiropractic office visits at Redirect Health’s three Maricopa County medical centers. It also includes access to a prescription discount program, discounted imaging, hospitalization and catastrophic protection, and emergency travel back to Canada.
“Canadian snowbirds increasingly need their healthcare to be portable, easy, and affordable. No one should have to worry about having access to quality care when they come to Arizona,” said Paul Johnson, CEO and co-founder of Redirect Health. “Our program offers a cost-effective solution for Canadians that avoids the unnecessary stress of getting medical attention for everyday or emergency situations.”
The Canadian Snowbird program is $12.99 per day for individuals, $19.99 per day for a couple, and $29.99 per day for a family membership.
“Canadians rent or own about 100,000 homes in Arizona and, even with COVID-19, many are still making their way down here this winter,” said Glenn Williamson, CEO of Canada Arizona Business Council. “Now more than ever, it’s important for them to have a healthcare option that is affordable and offers so much.”
