New office staff must join the plan. If new staff members already have other health and dental coverage in place, s/he may waive their participation in the health and dental coverage on the HBTF Enrollment Form, however, s/he must enroll in the Life, AD&D and LTD benefits.
Your Resident Extended Health and Dental coverage will end when your residency ends. Doctors of BC has a special offer for new physicians - join the HBTF Benefits Plan within 90 days of completing residency and receive a 50% premium rate discount for the first 12 months on the HBTF Benefits plan. Refer to the “How much will the plan cost" document below for current premium rates.
If you enroll in the plan within 90 days of completing residency you will not be required to provide proof of good health.
This offer is available to new physicians who have not been in practice before. If you have previously practiced medicine outside of Canada this offer is not applicable.
For members covered under the Core-Plus Benefits Plan, please contact the HBTF Plan Administrator at Doctors of BC for a copy of the Canada Life booklet and administration forms.
