In cases where an employee and spouse have different healthcare benefits, benefits are eligible for coordination of benefits. Canada Life benefits become your primary plan and pays your claims first. The secondary plan pays towards the remaining cost.
How does coordination of benefits work?
Expenses not covered by the first benefit may be eligible for some reimbursement under the other benefit.
If you wish to update your coordination of benefits (i.e. spouse loses or gains coverage), please contact Brescia's Payroll Office for more information.
Brescia’s Employee Assistance program is provided by Family Services Employee Assistance Programs (FSEAP). Employees eligible for services include full time permanent staff & faculty, part time permanent staff, and contract faculty teaching 1.0FCE or greater in the academic year.

FSEAP offers short-term, confidential counselling that includes face-to-face (flexible
hours), telephone or online sessions for a variety of reasons.
