This section of the Maritime Resident Doctors website has been specifically designed with your needs in mind, providing easy access to the information you need about the benefits to which you are entitled.

Group benefits are important, not only for the financial assistance they provide, but for the security they provide for you and your family, especially in the case of unforeseen needs. 

If you have any questions about your available coverage, submitting claims or general benefits questions, please reach out to our Canada Life Group Customer Contact Line available from Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Please have your plan 178635 and ID number (last 6 digits of Dalhousie ID number) with you when calling: 1-800-957-9777.

Submitting Claims to Canada Life

Online Access
Please ensure you have registered for your My Canada Life at Work member account.

Next, ensure that you have setup your banking information for your plan.

If you do not see all of your dependents listed on our site, please use the ‘contact us’ function and send us their names and dates of birth so we may add them onto your profile.

Direct Billing (Provider eclaims)
Many of your paramedical, vision, dental and pharmacy providers will be able to direct bill your claims to Canada Life! This will process claims for you and your dependents under your base plan.

There may be an out of pocket expense. For example, for any prescription drugs, there is a 20% deductible to a maximum of $25 per prescription. These should be submitted to your spousal plan (if applicable).
