Above Threshold Benefit (ATB)
Certain plans have an Above Threshold Benefit (ATB) that gives you further day-to-day cover once you have reached your Annual Threshold.

On selected plans, when you have spent your annual Medical Savings Account (MSA) allocation, the Day-to-day Extender Benefit (DEB) extends your day-to-day cover for essential healthcare services in our network.
Maternity Benefit
You get comprehensive benefits for maternity and early childhood that cover certain healthcare services before and after birth.
Medical Savings Account (MSA)
