June 3, 2013 - Equitable Life of Canada, is proud to add Integrated Health
Metrics Reference Reporting to the well-received Drug Plan
Management Toolkit released in 2012. Together these powerful tools
will provide our customers with a broadened scope of their benefit
plan as well as actionable insights to make informed decisions.
Healthcare will continue to evolve rapidly in complexity,
opportunities and risks. Advisors and Plan Sponsors continue to
have limited access to practical group benefit decision tools and
insights which take into consideration multiple key health metrics
and trends.
In the absence of fact-based insights, striking a balance
between benefit design and its associated value and cost is
difficult, and will be a challenge to achieve the longer term
sustainability of the group benefits plan which is so important
to employees and their families.
In January of 2012, Equitable Life launched our proprietary Drug
Plan Management Toolkit; a highly customized end-to-end
decision and implementation tool developed in response to the
rapidly evolving and complex drug landscape. Advisors and
Plan Sponsors have responded overwhelmingly to their practical
utility and value.
Equitable Life's Integrated Health Metrics Reference
Report now incorporates additional actionable insights associated
with disease, health risk factors, paramedical, and disability cost
and trends. "Our over-arching objective is to continue
to innovate and refine how we enable Advisors and Plan Sponsors to
have a more constructive, customized, and practical conversation on
health management, always driven by Health Metrics That Matter
TM" Martin Chung, AVP Strategic Health
Management.
