The CFLPA Major Medical Plan is starting a new benefits year.

When does this take effect?
The new benefit plan year usually starts when the CFL season starts. This year that was scheduled to happen on June 11^th, 2020. It has been decided to restart the benefits plan as scheduled on that date.

What does this mean for my coverage?
Provided that you are eligible, your coverage is resetting as it does in any other year. This means that all individual benefit maximums will reset. It also means that you will need to satisfy any deductibles that are required as part of coverage.

Submitting claims incurred after June 11^th
Any claims submitted on or after June 11^th will not be processed or reimbursement until the week of July 6^th. This is the normal system procedure with the roll-over of a new benefit plan year.
Claims submission processes are not changing.

What do I do if I have an emergency claim between June 11^th and the week of July 6^th?
Please reach out to MSH International Ltd. as per the contact information on your wallet card. They will be able to guide you through the process. Please note that coverage is in force during this period and access to medical care is not restricted.

Submitting claims incurred before June 11^th

You work hard for what you have. Having the correct beneficiary in place ensures your money goes where you want it to go when you die. It’s a good idea to review your beneficiary regularly to ensure it continues to reflect your wishes, especially as you approach life events such as marriage or childbirth.

Designating a beneficiary will allow your assets to bypass probate, which can be a time‑consuming and expensive legal process.

If you have a Registered Pension Plan (RPP), legislation requires that your spouse or common law spouse receive some or all the benefits following your death, unless they have signed a waiver.
