    Coming soon: Enhancements to Equitable EZBenefits plans for small business

     

    Equitable EZBenefits® was created to provide a better benefits experience for small businesses in Canada. With a range of plan designs to fit the needs and budgets of companies with 2-25 employees, this unique solution is affordable, sustainable and easy to manage.

     

    Now, we’re enhancing EZBenefits to deliver even greater value for more small businesses.

     

    Overview of enhancements

     

    We’re making the following updates:

    • Dental coverage for new Bronze plans: Basic dental coverage will be available for Bronze-level EZBenefits plans. Coverage will be 70% with a $750/year maximum, 12-month recall and six scaling units.

    • Definition of earnings for long-term disability (LTD) coverage: Earnings for LTD coverage will include bonuses and commissions, to reflect common small business pay structures.

    • Part-time eligibility for Saskatchewan employers: For Saskatchewan-based employers with 10 or more employees, the definition of part-time employment will shift to 15 hours per week to match the province’s definition.

     

    These enhancements will be included in new EZBenefits plans with effective dates of June 1, 2026, or later.

     

    In-force EZBenefits clients can also access these enhancements starting June 1, 2026, by requesting a plan amendment.

     

    You may wish to discuss these enhancements with your EZBenefits clients so they can make the best decisions for their plans.

     

    An “EZ” solution for you

     

    EZBenefits is also designed with advisors’ needs in mind. By providing fast quotes, a streamlined implementation process and an advisor concierge service, we’ve reduced your administrative burden and made supporting your small business clients easier.

     

    To learn about EZBenefits or the upcoming enhancements, please contact your Group Account Executive.


    Register now: Free webinar connects nutrition and employee health


    Plan to attend this special virtual session where Dr. Jeffrey Alfonsi, Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of RxFood, will share research that links overall health and nutrition.

     

    Poor nutrition is often connected to chronic disease. And chronic disease is heavily affecting the Canadian workforce—impacting productivity, driving up incidence of disability among employees and health benefits costs for employers.
     

    During his presentation, Dr. Alfonsi will underscore the difference healthy eating can make in several areas, including:

    • Chronic disease management and prevention

    • Early return to work from disability leave

    • GLP-1 agonist need and usage rates

    • Mental health and wellness

       

    You’ll also learn how employers can make good nutrition more accessible to employees and support their holistic health.


    Nutrition matters

    The powerful connection between diet and employee health

    When: Thursday, May 21, 2026,
    10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET

    Where: Online (register here)

    The webinar will be presented in English only. CE credits will be available.

     

    Reminder: One-time passcodes will be added to our login experience

     

    Soon, you may need to complete a new security step when you log in to your account on EquitableHealth.ca® and the Equitable EZClaim® mobile app. Anyone who logs in with an email address and password may be required to enter a one-time passcode that’s provided via email.

     

    By adding this form of multi-factor authentication (MFA) to the login process, we’re further enhancing our digital security and helping safeguard your account access and our clients’ personal data.

     

    Skip the one-time passcode. Create a passkey.

     

    However, you won’t need to enter a one-time passcode if you create a passkey to log in. Passkeys are another form of MFA. They are safe and provide a quicker, easier, secure way to access your account, using either biometrics – your face or fingerprint – or a PIN authenticator to confirm your identity.

     

    Learn more about passkeys. You’ll see how easy it is to set up on your mobile device or computer. Please reach out to your Group Account Executive if you have any questions.

     

    Service-related survey will go to clients in May

     

    At Equitable, we’re committed to providing clients and plan members industry-leading service. And we’re continually looking for ways to improve.

     

    On May 11, we’ll invite clients to complete a survey to help us understand where we’re delivering exceptional service, and how we can better meet their needs and those of their plan members. Their feedback will be kept confidential. However, we may follow up with some clients to address any concerns they identify.

     

    Every client who completes the survey will be entered into a random draw for a chance to win one of three pre-paid $200 gift cards. Clients will have through May 25 to complete the questionnaire for a chance to win a gift card.

    Supporting plan members affected by the flooding in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland*

    The recent flooding in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland is having a devastating impact on the province’s residents.

    Here are some of the ways we can help support your clients’ plan members who are affected by the flooding.
     
    Prescription refills
    Until Dec. 31, our pharmacy benefit manager, TELUS Health, will allow early refills for plan members who have been evacuated and/or lost their medication due to the flooding.
     
    Replacement of medical or dental equipment and appliances
    If plan members in Nova Scotia or Newfoundland need to replace any eligible medical or dental equipment or appliances (e.g. prescription eyeglasses, dentures, etc.) due to the flooding, they can call us at 1.800.265.4556 before incurring additional expenses to see how we can support them.

    Disability or other benfit cheques
    If plan members affected by the flooding are receiving disability benefits or other benefit reimbursements by cheque, they can visit www.equitable.ca/go/digital for easy instructions on how to sign up for direct deposit. It’s easy and takes just a few minutes. They can call us at 1.800.265.4556 if they need help. We can also arrange for a different mailing address or replacement cheques if necessary.
     
    Mental Health Support
    A natural disaster can also take a serious toll on people’s mental health. All of our plan members have access to the Homeweb online portal and mobile app, including numerous articles, tools and resources designed to provide guidance and support in difficult times. Homewood has put together some suggestions on how to help employees affected by a natural disaster. 
     
    For your clients with an Employee and Family Assistance Program, remind them that their plan members have 24/7 access to confidential counselling through a national network of mental health professionals. Whether it’s face-to-face, by phone, email, chat or video, plan members will receive the most appropriate, most timely support for the issue they’re dealing with.
     
    If a client wishes to add the EFAP to their plan, we can do this quickly – often in just a few days. Simply contact your Group Account Executive or myFlex Sales Manager.
     
    Plan Administrator support
    We realize that the flooding may also be having an impact on the regular business operations of your clients in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. If any of your clients are unable to carry out day-to-day plan administration, they can call us at 1.800.265.4556 to see how we can support them.
     
    We know this is a challenging time for many of your clients and their plan members. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide additional updates as appropriate. 
     

    Update: Changing certificate numbers on EquitableHealth.ca*

    Effective Dec. 10th, plan administrators will no longer be able to update or change plan members’ certificate numbers on EquitableHealth.ca. This change will ensure we can manage these changes more effectively to provide a smoother plan member experience.
     
    If your clients need to update a plan member’s certificate number, please have them reach out to Group Benefits Administration for assistance at groupbenefitsadmin@equitable.ca.
     

    Help plan members take advantage of convenient digital options*

    We have several digital options available to make it easier for your clients to do business with us and for their plan members to access and use their benefits plan.
     
    To help build awareness among plan members, we’ve created two posters that your clients can post on their intranet sites or in their office. The posters provide easy instructions on how to activate our secure, digital options.
     
    Please click on the links below to download the posters.

    Ontario optometrists and government to restart negotiations*

    The Ontario Association of Optometrists (OAO) announced it has paused its job action and will restart negotiations with the Ontario Ministry of Health on funding for optometry services.
     
    In September, Ontario optometrists began withholding services from patients covered by OHIP, including children, senior citizens and other patients with certain medical conditions, after negotiations with the Ministry of Health over compensation broke down.
     
    Residents of Ontario between the ages of 20 to 64 who aren’t eligible for coverage of eye services under OHIP were not affected by the job action. They were able to continue to receive eye exams from their optometrist and submit eligible claims to their benefits plan.
     

    QDIPC updates terms and conditions for 2022*
