Coming soon: A consistent login experience for Equitable Client Access and EquitableHealth.ca
Starting this month, users logging in to Equitable Client Access®, the secure website for our Individual Insurance and Wealth clients, will need to enter their email address instead of a username. This change will make the Client Access login experience easier and even more secure.
Streamlining the login experience for group benefits clients
When this change takes effect, clients who use the same email address to log into Client Access and EquitableHealth.ca will use one password for both sites.
If a client updates their password on one site, the password for the other site will also automatically update—so they’ll always use the same credentials for both platforms.
Clients who can’t remember the email address we have on file can click ‘Forgot email’ on the Client Access login page.
For added security, a client logging into Client Access may be prompted to enter a one-time code that’s sent to them via email before they can log in.
We will inform clients who have Client Access and EquitableHealth.ca accounts about these changes via email.
Safer, simpler account access
Logging in doesn’t need to include a password. Clients can save time logging in to Client Access and EquitableHealth.ca by creating a passkey.
Passkeys use a person’s face or fingerprint to quickly authenticate their identity – adding an extra layer of protection to their account and eliminating the need to enter a password. And by logging in to the Client Access site with a passkey, clients won’t be asked to enter a one-time code.
Creating a passkey is easy. The following video shows group benefits clients how to create a passkey to log in to EquitableHealth.ca.
Clients who use the same email address to log into Client Access and EquitableHealth.ca will be able to use the same passkey to access both sites. If someone has registered for both sites with different email addresses, they’ll need to create separate passkeys.
QDIPC updates terms and conditions for 2026
Every year, the Quebec Drug Insurance Pooling Corporation (QDIPC) reviews the terms and conditions for the high-cost pooling system in the province. Based on its latest review, QDIPC is revising its pooling levels and fees for 2026 to reflect trends in the volume of claims submitted to the pool, particularly catastrophic claims. We will apply the new pooling levels and fees to future renewal calculations that involve Quebec plan members.
Please note: QDIPC plans to redefine its group sizes in 2027. For more information on how group sizes will change in 2027, visit QDIPC's Terms and Conditions of Pooling.
