Empire Life Launches New Extended Healthcare Policy Protection Plan (EP3)
(firmenpresse) - KINGSTON, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 10/22/12 -- Editors Note: There is a photo and a video associated with this press release.
The Empire Life Insurance Company (Empire Life) today introduced new healthcare pooling arrangements to protect group benefit customers who face high cost claims from prescription drugs and medical services.
Healthcare pooling is a way to spread risk and limit customers' exposure to high cost claims. Beginning in January 2013, healthcare insurance carriers must offer an Extended Healthcare Policy Protection Plan (EP3) plan to their group customers. This is a requirement of the Canadian Drug Insurance Pooling Corporation (CDIPC).
The Empire Life healthcare pooling arrangements, which include the EP3 and supplementary Large Amount Pooling (LAP), provide flexibility and choice to customers. "We've designed our healthcare pooling with the best interests of our customers in mind," said Steve Pong, Senior Vice-President, Group Solutions at Empire Life. "In fact, we've gone several steps beyond the basic requirements of the pooling initiative to ensure all of our customers can take advantage of this cost-effective protection."
Product features include:
"We are excited to be offering a solution that helps business owners limit their exposure to high cost claims while helping them to create more sustainable benefit plans for the future," said Janet Jackson, Vice-President, Group Marketing, Empire Life. "Our pooling arrangements are an innovative response to the CDIPC requirements, and they will help employers and individual Canadians manage the financial impact of high cost drugs and healthcare services."
