Purchasing individual health insurance products can be expensive. That’s why TRIUMF has arranged a group buying program for retirees so that the cost can be lower than purchasing private insurance, and the coverage can be more comprehensive.
As a convenience for retiring employees, TRIUMF self-administers a heath and dental benefits plan which you have the option of joining. Currently the plan is 100% voluntary, and the premiums are paid 100% by the retiree. Basic details may be found by clicking on the following:
In most cases, drug coverage and reimbursement is based on the current eligible and non-eligble pharmacare drugs requiring a legal prescription. You can determine if your drug is Pharmacare eiligible or non-eligible by entering the DIN (Drug Identification Number) in this handy online search tool. Your physician or pharmacist can also help you identify a covered drug prior to purchase. Pharmacare Drug Formulary - Look up for Eligibility of Drug Coverage.
Supplementary Travel Insurance - Learn why extended health enrolled members should pay Pacific Blue Cross travel insurance. While the TRIUMF Retiree Plan provides some protection against medical emergencies while travelling for business or pleasure, the plan provides only a limited amount of protection from expenses that arise out of a medical emergency. Pacific Blue Cross offers additional travel coverage you can
purchase to provide you added peace of mind. And if you are enrolled in the TRIUMF retiree plan, you’re eligible for a 10% discount on your purchase.
