1. Changes to the PMPRB

   Earlier this month, the Government of Canada announced the final amendments to the Patented Medicines Regulations. These changes will impact how the Patented Medicine Review Board (PMPRB) sets the ceiling price for patented drugs and evaluates if the price of a drug reflects the value it has for patients. The intent of these updates is to enable the PMPRB to more effectively protect Canadians from excessive patented drug prices.

   These changes do not come into effect until July 1, 2020. Finalizing the guidelines and consultation with stakeholders will occur leading up to this date. It is yet to be determined which drugs will be included in the final guidelines. It is anticipated the guidelines will initially focus on drugs launched shortly prior to and after July 1, 2020.

   Equitable Life supports the modernization of the PMPRB and the ongoing need to evolve drug plan management tools in order to support the health of Canadians and drug plan affordability for public and private payers.

   If you have any questions, please contact your Group Account Executive.

2. Policy endorsement: Long Term Disability pre-existing condition period

   We are updating our contracts to clarify how we handle the Long Term Disability (LTD) pre-existing condition period for employees returning from maternity or paternity leave.

   A new LTD pre-existing condition period will no longer apply when an employee re-enrols in the benefits plan after their maternity or paternity leave ends, provided that they return to work on the date agreed upon with their employer, or in the time period allowed by the Employment Insurance Act, whichever is earlier.

   To facilitate this change, we are amending some of the wording in our contracts and booklets, effective March 1, 2020. Below are links to the Endorsement to the Master Policy and the Summary of Master Booklet Wording Changes for this amendment. Please download and save these policy endorsement documents for your files.

   In addition, please remind your clients to provide all of their plan members with a copy of the Summary of Master Booklet Wording Changes.

   The next time your clients amend their benefits plan, the updated wording will be included in their group benefits plan booklets.

3. Online banking makes RSP season easier
   March 1, 2021 is the deadline for clients to make Retirement Savings Plan (RSP) contributions within the first 60 days and that date is quickly approaching! Why not alleviate some stress by having your clients make their deposits using online banking?
   
   To get started with online banking, clients simply log in to their online bank account and select the option to add a new bill/payee and search for Equitable Life Savings Plan. The Equitable Life savings plan policy number will serve as the account number.
   
   Clients that complete their deposits using online banking don’t have to stress about mailing a cheque. Or worry about whether the money will make it to head office in time for the deadline. Deposits are applied based on the investment direction on file.
   
   Deposits can be made to RSPs as well as Tax-Free Savings Accounts and non-registered accounts. The minimum deposit is $50 per fund and $500 per Guaranteed Deposit Account (GDA).

9. Is it time to revisit bonds?

   You see the interest rate predictions and talk of inflation in the news every day. What should clients do? Is it time to consider bonds?
    
   Join our webcast with Darcy Briggs, Senior Vice-President, Portfolio Manager, of the Franklin Canadian Core Plus Bond Fund, for insights on the impacts of interest rates and inflation movement on bond portfolios and how to navigate during this time of uncertainty.
    
   Darcy and the team skillfully combine Canadian core bonds with non-core fixed income opportunities to create a solution that is built around a foundation of high-quality Canadian bonds. They opportunistically add “off benchmark” securities for added yield and diversification.

10. Life changes and so do clients’ insurance needs We’ve enhanced our partial conversion option with Equitable Term Life Insurance
    
    At Equitable^®, we understand that as life changes, so do your clients’ insurance needs. That's why we're excited to introduce enhanced flexibility in our partial conversion feature with a term rider carryover.
    
    What’s changed?
    
    1.    Partial conversions are available for both term standalone plans and term riders. Previously, partial conversions were limited to term standalone plans only.
    
    2.    Clients can choose any term plan for the rider carryover, regardless of the original term plan: T10, T20, T30/65. Previously, the term rider carryover had to match the original term coverage plan type.
    
    As always, the term rider is carried over at the client’s current age, with rates based on the conversion date.
    
    As life evolves, count on Equitable to provide solutions that adapt with your clients.
