Dear Plan Administrators,

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, many dental and health practitioners have been forced to close. As a result, the use of dental and some other extended health care benefits have declined.

Canada`s three major insurance companies, Sun Life, Canada Life and CINUP have recently announced premium deduction for dental and non-drug-related extended health care benefits for their group insurance clients.

Sun Life Financial

Here are the changes Sun Life is making for all non-refund clients:

  • Dental: 50% dental premium credit per month.
  • Extended Health Care: 20% premium credit on the non-drug coverage portion of extended health care benefit premium

Sun Life is going to apply the April credit to your June 1 invoice and will continue to assess the situation on a monthly basis. For more information, please visit SunLife.ca

 

Canada Life

  • Dental: 50% premium reduction adjustment will be applied.
  • Vision: 20% premium reduction adjustment will be applied.
  • Healthcare (excluding drugs): A 20% premium reduction adjustment will be applied.

Canada Life is going to apply the premium credit retroactive to April 1, 2020. May premium reduction adjustments will be completed on the June billing.

CINUP

CINUP recognizes the impacts of the pandemic and the ability for plan members to utilize their dental and extended health benefits.

CINUP is providing the following credits, retroactive to April 1st, on May 2020 billing:

  • Dental: 50% premium reduction adjustment

Eagle Bay Financial Services & CINUP Now Offers Teladoc, Virtual Health Services To Clients

by | Apr 8, 2020 | Benefits, CINUP, COVID19, First Nations, Group Benefits Plan | 0 comments

Especially with the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine services became the most convenient and easy access to quality healthcare when and where members need it most.

As Eagle Bay Financial Services, we are excited to announce CINUP’s, one of Canada`s leading insurance companies, partnership with Teladoc™ Health.

Effective immediately, Teladoc telemedicine services will be included for all employees who hold CINUP Extended Health Care coverage. Members can visit with a Canadian certified physician by phone or video for a broad array of episodic healthcare issues. During the visit, employees can receive a diagnosis, treatment recommendation, and even be prescribed medicine when necessary. With Telemedicine Services, members can stop waiting for care and get back to feeling better, faster.

 

Teladoc : Offering a New Front Door To Healthcare In Canada

Teladoc is the global leader in virtual care, providing convenient access to high-quality healthcare for millions of people in more than 130 countries.

Doctors can also prescribe medicine if needed.

  • Is your First Nations community located in a remote area?
  • Up in the middle of the night with a sick child?
  • Or perhaps living or vacationing in a rural location, making it difficult to obtain medical care?
  • Self-isolating and can’t get in to see a doctor?
Teladoc is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Because visits are conducted by phone or video, there are no geographic restrictions to getting to high-quality care from anywhere. Employees simply can download the Teladoc app from Apple or Google Play, complete the quick registration, and request a consultation.

“ Effective immediately, Teladoc telemedicine services will be included for all employees who hold CINUP Extended Health Care coverage. ”
