Humania Assurance

What Humania Assurance does

Humania Assurance Inc. is a privately held Canadian life and health insurance company headquartered in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec, founded in 1876 and operating for 150 years. The company sells individual and group insurance products under multiple sub-brands: ASSEM (no-medical-exam life, critical illness, and disability), HuGO Vie (term life with instant decisioning), Prosanté (health and income protection), Enfants360 (children's critical illness covering 37 conditions), Prodige and Term Critical Illness Insurance (critical illness with Teladoc Medical Experts riders), Street-Wise (accident insurance for families), Tour+Med (travel insurance acquired in 2019), and Group Insurance (employer-sponsored health, dental, disability, and value-added services including telemedicine). Distribution is primarily through a national network of licensed financial security advisors and insurance brokers, with agreements in place with the majority of Canadian General Agents (MGAs), supplemented by online sales platforms enabling instant policy issuance and regional business development directors covering Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Atlantic Canada.

Humania generates revenue through recurring insurance premiums on individual and group policies, with pricing varying by product, coverage amount, age, and health profile; specific premium schedules are not publicly disclosed. Examples include Street-Wise accident coverage starting at C$12/year, HuGO child rider at C$6.75-C$11.25/month, and ASSEM Vie coverage up to C$1,000,000 without medical exam for eligible clients age 50 and under. Customer concentration is structurally low, spread across individual Canadians and a fragmented base of employer group plans distributed through thousands of advisors. The company is a member of Assuris and the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association (ACCAP/CLHIA), is governed by Quebec and Canadian privacy law, and maintains encryption, role-based access controls, and a security program for data integrity. In 2026, Humania deployed Koïos Intelligence's Olivo AI platform to automate quality assurance audits and compliance operations, representing a back-office modernization initiative rather than a customer-facing AI capability. The company has been recognized among Canada's Top 100 Best Small and Medium Employers for eight consecutive years, employs 101-250 people, and operates exclusively within the Canadian market.
