Medical Administration for Veterans - Blue Cross vs. Sun Life

I received a respose back from Sun Life, the people who run the Public Service Health Care Plan. They indicated that they would be thrilled to take over the administration of our Veterans medical from Blue Cross but there is one thing we must do. See actions required below.

"The best way to make your voices heard is for each member who prefers their plan to be administered by Sun Life Financial to speak with the Pension Office individually is able to determine the depth of this request.You may contact the 

Canadian Forces Pension Centre at 1-800-267-6542 for further assistance".


The Canadian Forces Members and Veterans Re-establishment and Compensation Act

PART 4 GENERAL (Health Benefits)

Group insurance program

66.(1) The Minister may

(a) establish or enter into a contract to acquire a group insurance program ( I believe it to be Blue Cross for Veterans) comparable to the Public Service Health Care Plan established by the Treasury Board

(2) A member, a veteran or a member's or a veteran's survivor may elect to participate in a group insurance program referred to in subsection (1) if they meet the prescribed eligibility requirements.

I have been waiting 6 months for my latest decision from VAC / Blue Cross. When I deal with Sun Life ( Public Service Health Care Plan established by Treasury Board) I never wait more than two weeks for a decision.

I SEE A DIFFERENCE, DO YOU???
