Q.C.C.C. Members will initially become covered for the Full Benefit Plan on the first day of the month following the month in which 120 hours are earned, provided the employer makes the appropriate contributions to the Plan.
Example: 120 hours earned in April provide coverage for May.
If an Employee working under the Q.C.C.C. Agreement earned less than 120 hours or is not a Union Member, and the employer has not contributed on his/her behalf for the Full Benefit Plan, then please refer to the last section of the HEALTH BENEFIT PLAN BOOKLET regarding the Mini Plan.
For continued coverage after initial qualification, the Employee must earn at least 90 hours per month. If a lapse in coverage occurs, the Employee must re-qualify with 120 hours.
NOTE: An enrolment card must be completed and forwarded to the Administrator’s office before any claims payment will be made. If dependents or a beneficiary changes, a revised card must be completed. The signed original enrolment card must be submitted to the Administrator – faxes or copies are not acceptable.
Once an eligible Member qualifies for the Full Benefit Plan and has submitted a completed enrolment card to the Administrator, a wallet card will be mailed to the Member (2 cards if there is dependent coverage). This card serves as the pay-direct prescription drug card for a pharmacy to submit a claim via ASSURE for prescription drugs. This card also shows the group (policy) number and client ID (certificate number) for a dentist to submit a dental claim to the Plan on behalf of the covered Member or dependents. PLEASE NOTE: the dentist should not send the dental claim via ASSURE. Dental claims must be sent to D.A. Townley for processing, either by email to health@datownley.com or by fax to 1-604-299-8136.
