Use it well

November 29, 2022

Together we can protect your benefits plan

It is the shared responsibility of you and your Employee Life and Health Trust (ELHT) to protect your benefits.

Why should this matter to you? Simply put, the cost and sustainability of your plan is impacted by usage.

When providers say, ‘use it or lose it’, and encourage unnecessary benefit spending, the cost of providing benefits to you becomes more expensive and may lead to reduced coverage or increased member contributions — or both.

That’s why we say, ‘use it well’, and together we can help to protect your benefits plan.

Safeguarding your plan will help to keep your benefits affordable, accessible and sustainable for when you, your family and your colleagues need it.

Below is an illustration to show how we can work together to protect your benefits plan.

One of the strategies that is used to ensure appropriate use of your benefits plan is to review provider practices. Some service providers have been delisted. This means that claims submitted for services provided by a delisted provider would not be covered under your plan. Check the delisted providers list before making an appointment to ensure your new and current providers/suppliers are in good standing.

Your choices impact your health and your plan’s health. Use it well.
