How do I enrol a new member?

To enrol a new member, provide the employee with the Enrolment Request (PDF - 36 KB) form, and have the employee complete the required section and sign the Member Confirmation/Authorization section. As plan administrator, you must complete the first part in full and ensure that the form is signed and submitted to the following address, according to your administrative centre, within 31 days of the employee's eligibility date:

How do I change a member's personal information and benefits?

For terminations, salary changes or changes in member categories, you must complete the Notice of Change (PDF - 114 KB) form. It is very important to indicate the effective date of the change.

For name changes, changes of beneficiary, changes in a family situation, or to add dependents, you must complete the Change of Record (PDF - 147 KB) form and return it to the following address, according to your administrative centre:

How do I handle late-entrants enrolments?

If the enrolment request is submitted after the eligibilty period, the coverage on the member, spouse and dependent children is conditional on approval of the evidence of insurability. You must return the Evidence of Insurability (PDF - 109 KB) form duly completed and signed by the member and dependents, if applicable, together with the Enrolment Request (PDF - 36 KB) form and return it to the following address, according to your administrative centre:

Montreal

Toronto

Note: Industrial Alliance must receive all the forms and information required before it can approve requests for coverage to late entrants.
However, for Quebec residents, we grant health insurance coverage as of the date of receipt of the Enrolment Request (PDF - 159 KB) form.

In the case of a termination, when do benefits cease?

In the case of a termination, all benefits cease on the member's last day of work. It is therefore important that you indicate the member's last day of work as the termination date.

When are premiums due?

Premiums are due on the first day of the month after your premium notice is generated. For plans administered at Industrial Alliance, you will receive the premium notice one or two weeks before the payment due date.

For example, you should receive the premium notice for your July premiums during the last week of June, and your premiums will be payable on July 1.

The table below indicates the premium notice dates for 2009.

Definitions


What is meant by “eligibility period"?

The eligibility period is the period of time an employee must be employed by you before becoming insured under your group insurance plan.

What is meant by “non-evidence maximum"?

The non-evidence maximum is the amount of insurance offered to a member without any requirement that the member provide information about his or her state of health. If a member requests a coverage limit in excess of the non-evidence maximum, the member must complete the Evidence of Insurability (PDF - 109 KB) form, and the coverage will only become effective when Industrial Alliance has approved the evidence of insurability.

What is meant by a “late entrant"?

A late entrant is any employee who does not complete an application for insurance within 31 days of his or her date of eligibility. These employees must be medically approved before they can become insured.
