Canada’s life and health insurers, including Medavie Blue Cross, paid out a record $113 billion in life and health insurance benefits – up 17% from 2020 and nearly $10 billion above pre-pandemic levels — the latest Canadian Life & Health Insurance Facts shows.

The report is an annual publication of the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association (CLHIA), whose member companies, including Medavie Blue Cross, account for 99% of Canada's life and health insurance business.

They hold over $1 trillion in assets in Canada and employ more than 166,000 Canadians.
