The Employee Benefit Plan Trusts provide benefits to 44,000 active plan members and 15,000 retirees representing 80 health care employers in Saskatchewan. The Employee Benefit Plan Trusts include four (4) Disability Income Plans, Group Life Insurance, Core Dental, two (2) Extended Health Care and Enhanced Dental Plans, Out-of-Scope Flexible Spending Plan, Retired Plan Member Life Insurance Benefit, and the Retiree Health and Dental Plan. Together, the Employee Benefit Plan Trusts have over $500M in assets under management. The Trusts are governed by the Employee Benefit Plans Board of Trustees, a collectively bargained Employee Benefit Plans Committee composed of union and management representatives, and a Working Committee composed of Union representatives. The Committees make recommendations to the Board of Trustees who have the ultimate decision making authority and fiduciary responsibility for the Trusts. 3sHealth is appointed as the administrator of the Employee Benefit Plan Trusts by the Board of Trustees.

3sHealth is seeking an insuring partner for the Retiree Health and Dental Plan. Our current insuring partner’s head office is located in Regina, SK. All plan administration, including premium collection and claims payment, is performed by the insurer at their office in Regina. In addition, the insurer provides plan members with “front counter service” that allows for the in-person drop off of claims and plan member assistance with completing claim forms.
