Green Shield Health and Dental Benefits Update

Shared on behalf of Human Resources


Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre regularly evaluates the performance of our benefit plans and premiums to ensure the long-term sustainability of the plan, while maintaining fiscal responsibility. A recent review of the plan indicated an adjustment of 6% to dental premiums and 6-10% for extended health premiums, depending on division, are required to adjust for utilization and inflation.

How This Affects You: The average adjustment to employee premiums for combined single coverage is $3.74/ month and $10.13/month for combined family coverage. For employees with Green Shield coverage, the new premiums will be effective April 1 and reflected on your ninth pay stub.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we navigate these changes. Our goal is to continue offering you high-quality benefits that help support your health and well-being.
