In 2019, we launched coverage to help plan members through their gender affirmation journey. In response to plan member feedback, we’re making this coverage more accessible by removing barriers to treatment. These new changes will be available as of July 16, 2023.
About this coverage
This coverage helps supplement provincial or territorial coverage across the country, covering feminization or masculinization surgeries not typically covered under medicare programs.
We’re now making this type of coverage more accessible, by:
- Creating a new Sun Life specific Prior Authorization Process.
- Offering increased annual maximum options to choose from.
- Allowing assignment of benefits (if applicable).
