  1. EXCITING NEWS! Digital Transactions for Universal Life Plans Now Available We are happy to announce a major update to our digital systems that makes managing Equitable Universal Life (UL) policies easier than ever. Starting now, you can use digital transactions to submit your clients’ instructions to change their UL deposit allocations and transfer funds between accounts.
     
    This update builds on the recent launch of our digital policy loan request on EquiNet® and is another step towards making your Equitable® experience easier and more convenient.

    What's New?
    In the past, you had to submit written requests for UL deposit allocation changes and account value transfers using the Universal Life Form 693UL (you can still use this method if you prefer).
     
    Now, you can manage these transactions directly through the secure EquiNet advisor portal. This new process also allows clients to securely approve their requested changes by email.
     
    To get started, simply log into your account on EquiNet and go to the Policy Inquiry tab.
    We have provided a brief user guide to help you through the steps.
     
    We trust that this digital upgrade will enhance the way you work with Equitable. Stay tuned for more digital enhancements in the near future!
     
    Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

  2. A bright start to July: our Dividend Scale is now active!

    Effective July 1st - just in time for summer conversations!

    Good news! The Equitable® Board of Directors has approved continuing our current dividend scale for the period of July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026.

    • The interest rate* we use to decide the dividend scale will stay at 6.40%.
    • Other factors used to decide the dividend scale will stay the same.
    • The interest rate for policies with dividends on deposit will stay at 3.50%.
    • The interest rate for most policy loans will stay at 6.50%. This applies to both new and existing policy loans, and automatic premium loans. It specifically applies to Equimax® policies with a 9-digit policy number that starts with either "3" or "8". Older policies may have different loan rates as they are based on the prime interest rate.

    *The dividend scale interest rate (DSIR) is different from the participating account (PAR) rate of return. The DSIR smooths out the ups and downs of the participating account experience. The PAR rate of return is the return on the investments in the participating account over the calendar year.

    Provincial biosimilar update

    Alberta Biosimilar Initiative

    On December 12, 2019, the Alberta government introduced the launch of the Alberta Biosimilar Initiative. This program will require patients using several originator biologic drugs to switch to a biosimilar, and patients using a non-biologic complex drug (NBCD) to switch to its subsequent entry version before July 1, 2020 in order to maintain coverage.

    Biologics are drugs that are engineered using living organisms like yeast and bacteria. The first version of a biologic developed is also known as the “originator” drug. Biosimilars are highly similar to the originator drug they are based on and have been shown to have no clinically meaningful differences in safety or efficacy.

    Alberta Health will initially cover both the originator and biosimilar or subsequent entry version of a NBCD  drug as patients start the switching process.

    The following table outlines the affected originator drugs, their biosimilars or subsequent entry, and the conditions affected by the program.

    Biosimilar Drug Originator Biosimilar/Subsequent Entry Indications Affected
    etanercept Enbrel Brenzys Ankylosing Spondylitis
    Rheumatoid Arthritis
    Erelzi Ankylosing Spondylitis
    Psoriatic Arthritis
    Rheumatoid Arthritis
    infliximab Remicade Inflectra
    Renflexis
    Ankylosing Spondylitis
    Plaque Psoriasis
    Psoriatic Arthritis
    Rheumatoid Arthritis
    Crohn’s Disease
    Ulcerative Colitis
    insulin glargine Lantus Basaglar Diabetes (Type 1 and 2)
    Filgrastim Neupogen Grastofil Neutropenia
    pegfilgrastim Neulasta Lapelga Neutropenia
    glatiramer* Copaxone Glatect Multiple Sclerosis

    *Glatiramer is a non-biologic complex drug where the originator is Copaxone and the subsequent entry is Glatect.

    Equitable Life is actively investigating the benefit, risk and appropriate plan changes associated with this new policy on private drug plans and will keep you informed.

    For more information about the Alberta Biosimilars Initiative, consult the Alberta government website.

    British Columbia

    In 2019, BC Pharmacare introduced a Biosimilars Policy that impacted coverage of three biologic drugs – Remicade, Enbrel and Lantus. As of November 25, 2019, these drugs were no longer eligible in BC for most conditions for which lower cost biosimilar versions are available. Patients in the province with these conditions were required to switch to biosimilar versions of these drugs in order to maintain their coverage.

    The second phase of the BC Biosimilar Policy takes effect March 6, 2020 when Remicade will be delisted for Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. Patients in the province with these conditions will be required to switch to Inflectra or Renflexis in order to maintain their coverage.

    Biosimilar Drug Originator Biosimilar Indications Affected
    infliximab Remicade Inflectra
    Renflexis
    Crohn’s Disease
    Ulcerative Colitis

    We have communicated with the affected plan members, informing them of the need to switch medications. If plan members have any questions or concerns, our Customer Care team is here to help and support them through the transition.

    If you have any questions about this policy, please contact your Group Account Executive or myFlex Sales Manager.

    Ontario

    In November 2019 Ontario Minister of Health Christine Elliot indicated that the government was planning to launch consultations to explore solutions in managing biologics.

    Equitable Life will continue to monitor these developments and keep you informed of any impact on private drug plans.

     

    Legislative changes for Alberta’s Coverage for Seniors program

    The government of Alberta has announced that as of March 1, 2020, seniors’ family members (such as spouses and dependents) who are younger than 65 will no longer be covered by the provincial Coverage for Seniors program. Albertans 65 years of age and older will continue to be covered under the provincial plan.

    Equitable Life plan members and their dependents will continue to be covered under the parameters of their group benefits plan.

    For more information, please see the Alberta Seniors Health Benefits website.

     

    Coming soon: enhancements to Equitable EZClaim® Online

    Faster vision claims processing and payment

    Equitable Life will soon provide real-time processing of vision claims submitted via EZClaim Online.

    This means plan members will be able to find out the status of their vision claim almost instantaneously. And, for approved claims, they will receive payment even sooner – often in as little as 24 hours.

    In order to allow for instantaneous processing and faster payment, plan members will be prompted to enter some additional information including the practitioner’s name, the date of the expense, the type of expense and amount of the expense when submitting their claims for these services.

    Equitable Life plan members can submit all vision claims via EZClaim, including coordination of benefits and Health Care Spending Account claims.

    This enhancement will be coming to our EZClaim Mobile app in the coming months.

    New printable claims extract

    As part of our ongoing efforts to improve customer experience for plan members, we will also offer a claims extract in a printable format within the plan member site. Plan members will be able to select a date range and claimant, then generate and download a detailed list of health and dental claims. This is a helpful way to keep track of claims, especially when reviewing them in preparation for income tax filing.

    Once these enhancements are live you will be notified in an eNews, and an announcement will be posted on the plan member section of EquitableHealth.ca.

     

    Elimination of Out-of-Country Travellers Program in Ontario

    Effective January 1, 2020, the Ontario government eliminated OHIP coverage for emergency services for Ontarians travelling outside of Canada.

    Previously, the Out-of-Country Travelers Program provided some reimbursement for services required to treat conditions that are acute, unexpected, arose outside Canada and require immediate treatment. The program covered between $200 and $400 per day for inpatient services and $50 per day for outpatient and doctor services.

    For groups who have out-of-country coverage from Allianz, this change will not impact the cost to your plan members, or the process plan members follow in the event of an emergency while travelling.

    Plan members should still call Allianz in the event of an out of country emergency. Allianz will deal with their claim as usual and will now pay for the portion of the claim previously paid by OHIP. Plan members will not have any additional out-of-pocket costs.

    We will be sharing this information with plan members as a news item on our plan member website, equitablehealth.ca.

    At Equitable®, we are making continuous improvements to our advisor and client services. We are excited to share an upcoming enhancement.

    Beginning on August 15, 2024 , you and your clients will be able to request standard, current in-force illustrations—at any time—for your clients’ whole life and universal life policies with the click of a button.

    How do I access this?
