Retired faculty eligible for membership in the UBC Emeritus College (and faculty working past age 71 who expect to be granted emeritus status) have access to four different insurance plans that provide extended health care insurance and/or emergency medical travel insurance.
The four plans are:
- the UBC/Sun Life plan (UBC RSB Extended Health Care plan [EHC])
- the MEDOC plan (MEDOC Travel Insurance plan)
- the Johnson plan (Johnson EHC and Prestige Travel plan)
- the RTO plan (RTO/ERO EHC plan). [This plan provides EHC and Travel insurance.]
(The official plan names used by UBC; Johnson, Inc.; and RTO are in parentheses.)
Each plan has its particular strengths and limitations. It is important that you choose the plan or plans that best suit your individual needs and priorities. (Many individuals choose to have the UBC/Sun Life plan and another plan, since the plans complement and reinforce each other.)
It is important to remember that if upon retirement you fail to enroll in the UBC/Sun Life Extended Health Insurance for retirees, or decide at any time to cancel it, these decisions cannot be reversed at a later date.
