Life Insurance

 

Life Insurance coverage provides a "benefit for your beneficiary if you die while covered." The insurance will be paid to your "last named beneficiary on file with Sun Life. If you have not named a beneficiary, the benefit amount will be paid to your estate." This coverage will end once you retire or reach the age of 70, when the group contract ends or the "end of the period for which premiums have been paid to sun Life for your coverage."

 

Extended Health Care Insurance

 

Extended Health Care Insurance coverage covers the services or supplies that are "medically necessary for the treatment of an illness." Sun Life will cover medication prescribed by a doctor or dentist and purchased from a pharmacist. Furthermore, contact lenses, eyeglasses or laser eye correction surgery prescribed by an ophthalmologist or licensed optometrist will be covered by Sun Life, along with reasonable expenses for dental care.
