Green Shield Canada
Green Shield’s story started in 1957. Founder Bill Wilkinson, a pharmacist in Windsor, saw Canadians struggling to afford the medication they needed – so he stepped up. Bill’s drive to find “a better way” sparked the creation of Green Shield Canada and the country’s first pre-paid health plan. Fundamental to Green Shield’s uniqueness is their philosophy of striving to make health care accessible to all Canadians. GSC is Canada’s only national not-for-profit health and dental benefits specialist. Green Shield offers the sort of coverage we all want for our own families at affordable rates.
“We at Challenger continue to see the benefit of partnering with NAL to provide our Owner/Operators with an excellent product backed up by service and relationship.”
“NAL Insurance was introduced to Bison as part of an overall risk mitigation project. NAL coordinated the process of transferring our existing Owner Operators from Bison’s WSIB account to their own private WSIB Alternative program. Because of this, we were able to reduce our corporate risk profile, AND provide better coverage to our Owner Operators – a true Win-Win! I would highly recommend the services of the NAL team.”
After a comprehensive review process of many other suppliers, we were very pleased with our decision to have selected NAL Insurance as our WSIB/CNESST Alternative provider for our Ontario/Quebec based O/O’s. Although your pricing was higher than the other providers we believe that NAL program provides a lot more value for Seaboard/Harmac and our Owner Operators.
The “user friendly” on-line interface with the NAL system created minimal burden to our staff and the process was completed in a very respectable time frame. Any claim is handled swiftly, directly, without complaint from our owner operators and that is of the utmost importance to our organization.
