Learn about the excellent coverage you get from Adobe’s medical, dental and vision plans. Health care is an important part of your rewards, and we want to help you get the most out of it.
All plans are administered through Canada Life, and Adobe pays the monthly premium for these plans.
If you’ve recently moved to Canada from another country, Adobe takes care of you and your eligible dependants through the Welcome Plan [PDF] for 90 days. After that, you should be eligible for provincial coverage, which is the health insurance Canada provides to all residents. You’ll receive an ID card in the mail, and then get reimbursed for your health care expenses.
