Group Prescription Drug Plans
Prescription drugs are often not covered by provincial healthcare or may only be partially covered. Prescription drug plans are very attractive to prospective and current employees, as this type of insurance can help them significantly financially.
There are many different options for prescription drug plans, scalable to your company’s size and budget.
Our expert group benefit brokers can provide you with a variety of cost-containment solutions on your group prescription drug plan, such as:
- determining your co-payment level (i.e., 70 per cent, 80 per cent, 100 per cent);
- limiting coverage to generic brands;
- encouraging three-month prescriptions to limit dispensing fees;
- using a drug formulary (a list of covered medications);
- placing limits on specialty drugs and more.
Group Dental Insurance
Dental care contributes to good overall health, but it is often not covered by provincial healthcare. Even routine dental care can be very expensive, making a group dental insurance plan a very desirable benefit for employees in Canada.
What does dental insurance cover?
Group dental insurance is broken down into three categories:
- Basic coverage, such regular care and cleaning, exams, radiographs, X-rays and tests.
- Major coverage, such as crowns, dentures and bridgework.
- Orthodontic coverage, such as ortho-exams, braces and retainers.
Your business can choose the coverages you’d like to include in your group dental insurance package as well as the amount of coverage you’ll provide employees (typically either a percentage of the procedure costs or set maximum dollar amount per year).
Group Life Insurance
This type of coverage provides your employees with life insurance. In the unfortunate event that they should unexpectedly pass away, the employee’s designated beneficiary will receive a sum of money. This can help employees protect their dependents and reduce financial struggles due to the loss of income. Discover the benefits of group life insurance.
Group Critical Illness Insurance
Critical illness insurance can help reduce the financial burden when someone is diagnosed with a serious illness such as a heart attack, cancer, organ failure or blindness (exactly which conditions are covered will be outlined in the policy). The insured will receive a sum that can help cover debts, lost income, medical expenses and more. Learn more about group critical illness insurance.
Group Disability Insurance
If an employee is disabled and unable to work due to an unexpected illness or accident, disability insurance can help replace a percentage of their income. This may apply to temporary and permanent disability situations. Read about additional group disability insurance options.
Group Savings Program
Supporting your employees with their financial goals is a key factor in keeping your staff engaged. An employer-sponsored savings program can help your employees reach their financial goals, no matter if that includes paying off student debt, saving for a down payment on a house or saving for retirement.
Rogers Insurance can work with your business to create a group savings program, for which options include Registered Retirement Savings Programs (RRSP), Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSA) or Deferred Profit-Sharing Programs (DPSP).
