EQUITY DENTALCARE AND VISIONCARE DISCOUNT PROGRAM REVIEW
----------------‎----------------‎

Equity has recently completed an extensive review of the Association’s
member benefit programs.
‎
After nationwide member consultation, and due to the participation rates
that were well below expectations, the DentalCare and ‎VisionCare‎
discount programs will be cancelled as of January 1, 2017. Equity members
may continue ‎to use the DentalCare and ‎VisionCare‎ ‎Network, including
signing up for first time benefits, until December 31, 2016.
‎
If you wish to maintain your coverage in the Network and take advantage of
dental, optical and other new service discounts, you will be able to
purchase the coverage directly from Spencer Health. The cost will be $20
per year for individual or family coverage. The following process has been
developed for Equity members wishing to sign up for continued DentalCare
and ‎VisionCare access beyond January 1, 2017:

- To review the details of the program, visit: www.spencerhealth.com.
- Click “I need a plan - Individual & Family Plans”.
- Enrol (including dependents if applicable) and provide the necessary
information, including email address and credit card.
- Enter the promo code “equity” that will reduce your cost to $20 + HST
for the year.
- You will receive a two-page confirmation email from Spencer Health
Network that welcomes you on the first page and provides your Spencer
membership card on the second page.
- You may retain the card on your phone to present at time of service to
any network provider, or print a hard copy.

Equity's MAP (Members' Advantage Program) discounts are unaffected by this
change.‎ ‎

Questions or enquiries about the ‎DentalCare‎ and VisionCare discount
program cancellations may be directed to Equity's Controller Doug Irons
