Health is Cool 360° ***
This platform is a one-stop source for up-to-date information that can be used to make informed health and wellness decisions. Some of the tools it offers are geared specifically towards female plan members:
- Menopause Symptoms Questionnaire – used to identify the top six symptoms to discuss with a primary care provider
- Contraception Decision Tool – guides the user through key questions (emergency vs. long-term contraception; hormonal or non-hormonal methods; plans for future pregnancy) to determine which types of contraception could be the best fit
- Women's Health: My Health Checks – helps monitor and schedule screening for certain types of cancer and other chronic or acute conditions

Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
The mental load is the endless list of chores, responsibilities and emotional labour that tends to fall disproportionately on women. All of this cognitive labour takes a toll and puts women at higher risk of burnout. Our EAP is designed to improve workplace health, wellness and productivity, while reducing absenteeism and its associated costs.
Virtual Health Care
On-demand health care is available to employees and their immediate families via text and videochat, 24/7. They can get refills, referrals and more, right from the comfort of their own home. This service is particularly handy for individuals who are already juggling a lot of responsibilities.
Women's Health Focus isn’t one specific type of coverage—it’s a combination of complementary treatments, products and services available through different benefits to provide insureds with better coverage. Depending on which treatments, products and services you choose to cover, additional costs may apply.
If you’re interested in enhancing your group insurance plan’s health coverage for female employees, or to find out which benefits are available with your plan, please contact your benefits advisor.
