Making Benefit Claims

Expenses that have not been covered using a drug card (full-time employees) can be processed using an Extended Health Claim Form.

Dental claims can be processed using a Dental Claim Form. Personalized claim forms and information on claims is available on the Sun Life website (see above).

Coordinating Benefits with a Spouse – For families where both spouses have a family benefits package, benefits may be claimed under both plans to maximize the benefit.

Example: if one spouse ‘s plan covers 80% of a medical expense claim, some or all of the remaining 20% may be claimed under the other spouse’s plan.

 Guidelines:

  • Individuals must submit their personal expenses to their own plan first (a spouse would submit to their own plan, then claim the balance on the second plan).
  • When submitting a claim to a second plan, include a copy of the first plan’s benefit statement along with copies of any receipts and a claim form for the second plan.
  • Expenses for children must be first submitted to the plan of the parent with the earlier month and day of birth in the calendar year.

Benefit claims can be submitted on-line by setting up an account on the Sun Life website. Click here for details regarding Submitting Online Claims.
