Health Benefits

The uniPHARM Health Benefits Plan (UHBP), which we made available to shareholders on June 1, 2001, is one of our most exciting innovations. The UHBP is our very own "Private Label" comprehensive insurance plan, which we offer exclusively to shareholders and their full-time employees.

The UHBP is underwritten by Equitable Life Insurance Company of Canada. This plan is another example of how our shareholders' commitment to uniPHARM allows us to harness our buying power to gain a significant competitive advantage for them.

The benefit design is "state of the art" and very competitively priced as the result of our group size, uniPHARM head office administration and underwriting methods.

UHBP includes these benefits:

  • Life Insurance
  • Accidental Death and Dismemberment
  • Long Term Disability
  • Extended Health Care, including Assure Pay Direct Drug Coverage
  • Routine and Major Dental
  • Cost-Plus

The UHBP allows shareholders to provide a superb benefit package to their full-time staff at an affordable cost. Additionally, benefits are offered without medical evidence requirements in most circumstances.

Benefits are a key component in any compensation package and are proven to positively impact success in attracting and retaining the quality staff that is so vital to a successful and profitable pharmacy.

The UHBP, proof-positive that we understand our shareholders' needs and that we can continue to deliver innovative programs that meet those needs.
