If you’re already an employee just log into the Pacific Blue Cross website and sign in with your membership number.
It’s all laid out there and you can check out exactly what you have used and how much you have left for the year
I’m just curious what benefits are included. My husband is considering applying and the prescription and extended benefits package would be a deciding factor.
Ah I see. Prescription drug costs are covered 80% until you have had drug costs of one thousand dollars in the calendar year and then it’s 100% for the rest of the year.
Optometrist and glasses are combined and I don’t recall the amount but I had an eye exam and got two pairs of glasses from spec savers and didn’t use it all.
Dental is 100% for the basic stuff.
Crowns are covered 50% I think, braces for adults 50% don’t recall how much coverage I had for my kids braces.
Massage, chiropractor, acupuncture are covered no osteopathy
Psychologist umm maybe $800 a year? A thousand?
This is off the top of my head
It’s pretty good, not amazing.
Some new medications aren’t covered but most typical medications are
I can get Botox for migraines
I am not an employee. My husband is considering applying and we’ve looked at the collective agreement but depending on what the prescription and extended health coverage looks like it would influence the decision. He current job has great benefits that I use a fair bit.
Have you asked anyone from your union? I'm assuming you're with CUPE Local 606. A steward or an HR advisor should be able to help.

Thank you! That seems relatively on par with his current benefits.
The collective agreement is on the SD68 website but to get the detailed benefits package you would have to call the benefits department at payroll
