Supporting member heart health this February

February is a great time to help members refocus on heart health and the resources available through their benefits plan. Here are some quick reminders you can pass along:

Heart health support within their plan

• Many plans include tools that help members manage chronic conditions and reduce long-term heart health risks.
• Through our partnership with Homewood Health, members can access health assessments, digital resources and online courses that support healthier habits.
• Paramedical coverage such as dietitians can help members build nutrition plans that support heart health.
• Prescription drug benefits often cover medications used to manage common heart-related risk factors.

Make medication coverage easy

• Members can search Drug Identification Numbers in the Member Portal to confirm if a medication is covered before they purchase it.

Why February matters

• Heart health is a universal wellness topic, and this month is a timely opportunity to encourage members to use the supports available to them.

Explore Homewood Health

• Homewood Health is included in the Healthcare benefit for all insured groups, with optional availability for ASO and BASO clients.
• It offers digital tools, training and health risk

February is a great opportunity to encourage your members to highlight how to access these tools and reinforce the value of their benefits plan. Contact the Group Service Centre for additional information and resources!
