For Your Benefit

- Extended Health

 

In past months, we discussed how to
fill out the forms used to make claims
under your Extended Health Benefits
coverage. This month, we'd like to
outline some of the things covered by the
plan. The plan provides for 100%
coverage of hospital expenses and 80%
coverage of medical expenses. Hospital
expenses include:

-regular hospital room and board up to
the usual daily charge of the hospital
concerned for semi-private care;

-charges for confinement in an
Intensive Care Unit;

-convalescent hospital care up to the
usual daily charge of the hospital
concerned for a semi-private room
provided the confinement is i)
recommended by your physician, and ii)

follows a 3-day confinement in a hospital
as a registered bed-patient and is for the
same condition;

-other medically necessary hospital
services and supplies.

There is a long list of items which fall
into the category of medical expenses. We
will outline only some of them here.
Many of these items under this category
carry a maximum amount of coverage.
Please check with the Personnel
Department for more details. Some things
considered to be medical expenses are:

-doctor’s services for treatment outside
the province in which you reside;

-physiotherapist services provided the
physiotherapist is not a member of the
patient’s family up to a maximum of $275
in any calendar year;

 

-radiation therapy for cancer treatment
and radioactive materials used in the
diagnosis;

-oxygen;

-blood transfusions;

-ambulance transportation to the
nearest centre where adequate treatment is
available (including licensed air
ambulance) up to a maximum of $300 in
any calendar year;

-rental or, at the plan’s discretion,
purchase of the supplies, appliances and
prosthetic devices prescribed by a doctor
(check with Personnel for the list)

-drugs and medicines which, according
to the Food and Drug Act, require the
written prescription of a doctor and which
are dispensed by a licensed pharmacist. ]
