3. 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.

5. Important update regarding all paramedical appointments Update regarding parameds for NEW and EXISTING cases:
   • In the absence of Parameds, the preferred method is to complete the medical questions in EZComplete
   • If you didn’t complete the new medical information, then complete the Health Information Form #1878
   • If you are unable to complete the 1878 Health Information Form, then you can order a Video EPara through Dynacare or through Equitable
    For more information view this article: Underwriting Updates Including Additional Changes to Non-Med Limits.
   
   -----------------------------------------------------------
   
   Equitable Life has made the decision to temporarily stop all face-to-face field service appointments effective immediately to ensure the protection of both our Clients and Examiners. All appointments will be cancelled by ExamOne. Dynacare has already cancelled their appointments.
   
   We are doing this to support social distancing as requested by the Federal and Provincial governments. We are actively working on a plan to provide viable options in the absence of face-to-face paramedical service appointments. This will be communicated shortly.
   
    
6. Extending Homeweb to plan members who are losing coverage

   We know these are difficult times for Canadian employers and their employees.

   As businesses temporarily suspend operations to help stop the spread of COVID-19, some employers have had to make the difficult decision to temporarily lay off employees or put their benefits coverage on hold.

   So we are pleased to announce that Homewood Health^® and Equitable Life^® will extend access to Homeweb, a personalized online mental health and wellness portal, for up to 120 days for plan members who have temporarily lost their benefits coverage due to COVID-19.

   Employees and their family members will continue to have access to the Homeweb website and mobile app, including:

   • iVolve, Homewood’s online self-directed Cognitive Behavioural Therapy treatment tool to help manage mild to moderate anxiety and depression;
   • Resources and information to support themselves and their family members through the COVID-19 pandemic;
   • An interactive online Health Risk Assessment to help identify and address health risks; and
   • An online library of interactive tools, assessments and 20 different e-courses that allow each user to learn at his/her own pace.

   This will allow businesses undergoing financial hardship to provide some support to employees who are temporarily without benefits coverage.
