Diagnostic and Specialist Access Insurance (DSAI)

Diagnostic and specialist access insurance (DSAI) is a product that takes an insured employee off a medical waitlist, and in a fraction of the usual time gives them access to a diagnostic scan or puts them in the office of a specialist. DSAI takes weeks off of the usual wait for diagnostic services or specialist consultations.

Specialists

DSAI provides expedited access (within 21 days) to specialist services in the following medical fields:

  • Cardiology
  • Ear, nose and throat
  • Ophthalmology
  • Orthopaedic
  • Gastroenterology
  • Rheumatology
  • General surgery
  • Spine team
  • Neurology
  • Urology

DSAI is affordable. Single premiums start out at approximately 50 cents per day, and are completely eligible for roll-in to a Private Health Services Plan (PHSP).

DSAI is a unique way to supplement an existing group benefits plan. See employee absenteeism reduced, as employees are given the ability to address stress-provoking health issues in a drastically reduced length of time, resulting in overall increased productivity and employee contentment.

DSAI does not replace or affect current health care coverage; it merely offers insured persons a faster route of accessing needed diagnostic and specialist services in Canada.
