5. Can’t meet in person? EZcomplete is an EZ way to meet online

   
   Instead of canceling your meeting, why not meet online instead? Our EZcomplete^® application makes it easy to process your non-face-to-face applications and do business with Equitable Life.
    
   EZcomplete is available on Pivotal Select™ segregated funds and all life products – Term, Whole Life, CI and Universal Life – and allows for the signing process to change from in-person to non face-to-face at the end of the application, despite how it was started.  This gives you and your clients the option to easily and efficiently connect remotely.
   
   
   
   How does it work?
    
   EZcomplete gives you the option to conduct your non face-to-face business easily and quickly, enabling your clients to provide their signature remotely on their own device. You simply need to enter their email address and provide them with a secret passcode to securely access the documents to review and sign.
    
   There is no limit on the face amounts or product options and the time to settle is reduced when using the application. It is a flexible, intuitive tool to use, and helps keep business on track now that many clients and advisors are opting for more social distance.

   
   For Life Advisors, please refer to the New Business and Underwriting page on Equinet for details about non-face-to-face delivery.

6. Changes to coverage of Humira in BC BC Pharmacare recently announced it is adding Humira to the list of drugs included in its ongoing initiative to switch patients to biosimilar versions of high-cost biologics. Patients taking Humira for most conditions will be required to switch to a biosimilar version of the drug by Oct. 7, 2021 to maintain coverage under the public plan.
    
   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” biologic. Biosimilars are also biologics. They are highly similar to the originator biologic drugs they are based on, and Health Canada considers them to be equally safe and effective for approved conditions. 
    
   How we are responding to protect our clients
   To help prevent this change from resulting in additional costs for our clients’ drug plans, while still providing plan members with access to safe and effective medications, we will no longer cover Humira for plan members in BC. Effective Oct. 7, 2021, claimants currently taking Humira will be required to switch to a biosimilar version of the drug to maintain coverage under their Equitable Life plan.
    
   We will be communicating this change to plan administrators later this week. And we will be communicating with affected claimants in early August to allow ample time to change their prescription and avoid any interruptions in their treatment or their coverage.
    
   If you have any questions about this change, please contact your Group Account Executive or myFlex Sales Manager.

8. Competitive GIA rates and more!
   With many bond funds declining in value over the past year, clients are looking for fixed income alternatives to reduce portfolio risk while providing a principal guarantee and an attractive interest rate.  
   
   Equitable Life® Guaranteed Interest Account (GIA) investment options are ideal for clients who want to create an emergency fund or save for a special purchase. And we’ve recently increased interest rates to make our GIA options even more competitive! 
    
   A few reasons to consider Equitable Life for your GIA business:
   • The GIA advantage – a life insurance contract can provide many estate planning benefits.
   • Industry-leading compensation – we currently pay 40bps of commission per year of term.¹ Many competitors only offer 20 – 25bps per year of term.²
   • Cashable option³ – allows clients to access their money in case of unexpected circumstances. Not many competitors offer this feature.²
   • Advisor rate discretion – advisors can forego up to 40bps of commission for an equal increase in interest rate, making our great rates even better.
   • Step Up Your Wealth Sales program – 100% of GIA net deposits⁴ are used to calculate the 0.75% bonus commission earned on net deposits for 2022.
   • Win-Win – our GIAs allow you to give the client a better interest rate while still earning a good commission.

10. Saving time with our fully digital group benefits application On May 1, 2023, we are launching Equitable BenefitsApply™, our fully digital group benefits application.
     
    This enhancement to the benefits application process will help both you and your clients save time when applying for an Equitable Life group benefits policy. We designed and developed BenefitsApply with input and feedback from several advisors and clients, who tested the tool for themselves.
     
    In most cases, BenefitsApply will replace our traditional paper implementation process.*
     
    BenefitsApply eliminates the need for clients to complete and sign multiple, lengthy paper forms. Time-saving features for you and your clients include:
    • A fully digital online application that you can access wherever and whenever you need it,
    • Pre-filled standard fields,
    • Only one signature required from plan sponsors,
    • A smart application that only includes the sections relevant to the client and the plan design they have chosen, and
    • Automatic notifications of any missing fields. 
    Your Client Relationship Specialist is available to support you, provide a demo and provide training on how to use BenefitsApply.
     
    We will continue improving BenefitsApply’s features based on feedback from the people who use it—you and your clients. We encourage you to share any feedback you have with your Group Account Executive or your Client Relationship Specialist.
     
    *BenefitsApply is currently available for groups with up to four divisions and up to four classes. It is not available for myFlex Benefits plans, or for clients with a customized master application.
