  6. Most employers staying the course on benefits during COVID-19

    With businesses suffering hardship due to COVID-19, employers are turning to you for advice on their benefits plans during these difficult times. We’ve received numerous questions from advisors about changes our clients are making to their plans during this crisis.

    So far, the vast majority of clients are standing pat and taking a wait-and-see approach. Plan amendments have been the exception – fewer than 1% of our clients have made COVID-19-related amendments as of mid-April. Almost all are clients with fewer than 50 lives.

    We know that many of our clients have experienced layoffs, but hardly any have cancelled benefits. Fewer than 0.1% have terminated benefits to date.

    Below is a snapshot of plan amendments and terminations relative to our overall block, and an overview of the types of amendments we’re seeing.

    As of April 15, 2020

    Have clients who need to make a change?

    We know this is a difficult time for Canadian employers. If you have a client who needs to make a change to their plan, please contact your Group Account Executive or myFlex Sales Manager. We have a range of options to help them manage, and changes can be made quickly. The average turnaround time for COVID-19-related amendments is currently about four days.

    We’re happy to work with each employer to understand the options that suit their specific situation best.

  7. Help clients navigate the tax landscape across investment types with Equitable With tax time in full swing, you’re invited to a helpful webcast that will explain how different investment types are taxed. This will give you simple language you can use to build clearer conversations with clients.

    This session will help you explain the key differences between:

    • Registered plans (which shelter or defer tax):
         • RRSP: Contributions offset taxable income. Taxes are deferred until withdrawals are made.
         • RRIF/LIF: All withdrawals are taxable.
         • FHSA: Contributions, withdrawals, and transfers appear on T4FHSA/Relevé 32.
         • TFSA:  Helps your investments grow tax-free.

    • Non‑registered plans (which are taxed yearly):
         • Income is taxed each year (not deferred). 
         • Reporting usually comes through T3 or T5 slips.

  8. How Equitable is responding to the generic Ozempic shortage

    Health Canada recently approved generic versions of Ozempic for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. The generic has been deemed interchangeable with the brand drug in some provinces.

     

    Since then, however, a severe and widespread shortage of generic Ozempic has occurred across the country and among major drug distributors.

     

    What this means for drug plans with generic pricing

     

    Our pharmacy benefits manager, TELUS Health, normally limits reimbursement to the cost of the generic for clients who have drug plans with generic pricing once the province deems it interchangeable. This helps lower costs for clients and members.  

     

    Otherwise, plan members taking Ozempic would only be reimbursed up to the cost of the generic, even if the generic isn’t available. If a plan member filled the brand-name version, they would be responsible for paying the difference in cost.

     

    How we’re protecting plan members

     

    To help protect plan members from excessive out-of-pocket costs, we’ve chosen to align with TELUS Health’s decision to delay applying these limits while the generic Ozempic supply remains unstable.

     

    We will work to monitor availability of the generic and update you as supply changes and once interchangeability limits are applied. In the meantime, you may wish to remind your clients that this approach is intended to support smoother access for their plan members while the generic supply may be inconsistent.

     

    We will share this information with your clients.
