Containing costs - Here's how we can help
We offer employees health and dental care solutions while taking costs into consideration -
Health and dental care reports - Standard Life can provide detailed statistical reports to analyze a plan and adjust it accordingly.
Quality control - We have the best practices and procedures in place to ensure accurate payment.
Expertise - We work closely with a team of health and dental care professionals to ensure the best claims adjudication and to stay abreast of new and evolving products and services.
Anti-fraud measures - While insurance fraud was once thought to be a 'victimless crime', statistics show that even one fraudulent claim has repercussions not only on the premiums of a group, but also on an individual's level of coverage, and eventually on the industry as a whole. In an effort to minimize cases of insurance fraud, we have set up a confidential Anti-Fraud Tip Line at 1-877-543-2333 and Anti-Fraud message centre at antifraud@standardlife.ca. Discover more...
