- To be eligible for AECOM health and dental group benefit coverage in Canada, you must have provincial coverage. Employees (and/or their dependents) who are newcomers to Canada need to have temporary replacement coverage while they wait to receive provincial health coverage. At AECOM, this replacement coverage is provided through the Inpatriate Health Plan (IHP).
- As the employee, it is your responsibility to enrol for provincial coverage as soon as you arrive in Canada or as soon as inpatriate coverage starts. The waiting period to obtain provincial coverage is typically 3 months.
- If you (and/or your dependent) are a newcomer to Canada, you must enrol in AECOM health care coverage through Sun Life, which includes medical and dental benefits, and in the Inpatriate Health Plan, which provides medical benefits only.
- Enrol in the Inpatriate Health Plan by submitting the applicable enrolment form (at right) to aecomihp@seb-admin.com within 31 days of your Canadian hire date. After that date, you must submit the late IHP Late Enrollment Form (at right) with a statement of insurability.
- Any claims that should be covered by provincial health care coverage can be submitted to the Inpatriate Health Plan for the first three months while you are waiting for the provincial health coverage to begin. All other medical and dental claims that are not covered by the provincial health care coverage can be submitted under Sun Life’s group health plan.
- If you are a new hire, make your benefit elections within 31 days of your hire date at AECOMBenefitsOnline.com (you’ll need to select First-Time User to register if you haven’t already). And be sure to see the New Hire Checklist.
- As soon as you (and/or your dependent) receive provincial coverage, notify the AECOM Benefits Service Centre by phone at 833.411.5520 or by email at aecomihp@seb-admin.com.
