The Claims Process. If the other Plan does not provide for Co-ordination of Benefits, it will be considered as the Primary Carrier, and will be responsible for making the initial payment toward the eligible expense. If the other Plan does provide for Co-ordination of Benefits, the following rules are applied to determine which Plan is the Primary Carrier. For Claims incurred by you or your Dependent Spouse: The Plan insuring you or your Dependent Spouse as an pays benefits before the Plan insuring you or your Spouse as a dependent. In situations where you or your Dependent Spouse have coverage as an under more than one Plan, the order of benefit payment will be determined as follows: The Plan where the person is covered as an active full-time employee, then The Plan where the person is covered as an active part-time employee, then The Plan where the person is covered as a retiree. For Claims incurred by your Dependent Child: The Plan covering the parent whose birthday is earlier in the calendar year pays benefits first. If both parents have the same birthdate, the Plan covering the parent whose first name begins with the earlier letter in the alphabet pays first. However, if you and your Spouse are separated or divorced, the following order applies: The Plan of the parent with custody of the child, then The Plan of the spouse of the parent with custody of the child (i.e., if the parent with custody of the child remarries or has a common-law spouse, the new spouse’s Plan will pay benefits for the Dependent Child), then The Plan of the parent not having custody of the child, then The Plan of the spouse of the parent not having custody of the child (i.e., if the parent without custody of the child remarries or has a common-law spouse, the new spouse’s Plan will pay benefits for the Dependent Child). Where you and your spouse share joint custody of the child, the Plan covering the parent whose birthday is earlier in the calendar year pays benefits first. If both parents have the same birthdate, the Plan covering the parent whose first name begins with the earlier letter in the alphabet pays first.
The Claims Process. A claim for accidental injury to natural teeth will be determined under Extended Health Care Plans with accidental dental coverage before it is considered under Dental Plans. • If the order of benefit payment cannot be determined from the above, the benefits payable under each Plan will be in proportion to the amount that would have been payable if Co-ordination of Benefits did not exist. • If the insured person is also covered under an individual travel insurance plan, benefits will be co-ordinated in accordance with the guidelines provided by the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association. Submitting a Claim for Co-ordination of Benefits Submitting a Claim for Co-ordination of Benefits To submit a claim when Co-ordination of Benefits applies, refer to the following guidelines: • As per the Order of Benefit Payment section, determine which Plan is the Primary Carrier and which is the Secondary Carrier. • Submit all necessary claim forms and original receipts to the Primary Carrier. • Keep a photocopy of each receipt or ask the Primary Carrier to return the original receipts to you once your claim has been settled. • Once your claim has been settled by the Primary Carrier, you will receive a statement outlining how your claim has been handled.
