Mental health is a significant challenge for Canadians, and many individuals are not getting the help they need. Mental Health Navigator provides members virtual access to psychologists and psychiatrists who can provide a mental health assessment, diagnosis and accompanying treatment plan for a new condition or review an existing diagnosis and treatment approach.

Telemedicine by Teladoc provides members with 24/7 access to licenced physicians in Canada and the USA so eligible members can get the high-quality care they need at times when it is most convenient for them.

To help combat the national emergency of the opioid crisis, Empire Life's opioid management solution is included with all pay direct drug plans (except Quebec). This solution focuses on prevention and intervention by minimizing opioid exposure to prevent misuse of these powerful drugs for members who are using them for the first time or have not taken them in the past six months. The drug therapy and pain management will be more precisely controlled; plan members will be encouraged to use these drugs with caution, and excess opioids will be limited.
As part of our robust set of disability tools, pharmacogenomics provides the potential to help disabled plan members get the right medication based on their genetic makeup. This way, their treatment program can be more effective. While this is a relatively new field, we see significant opportunities to improve our plan members’ outcomes.
Mental health disability claims are a significant challenge. These claims are typically challenging to adjudicate, and getting disabled members the help they need can be difficult. Internet-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (iCBT) can help by providing virtual access to therapists who can help claimants obtain the skills necessary to return to work. While CBT is not new, having this available virtually is. So, if someone needs help and is reluctant to leave home, or perhaps lives in a rural setting, iCBT can help deliver the right support to the member when and where it is needed.
While working in a foreign country can be exciting and rewarding, it may present some challenges when accessing healthcare. This new Telemedicine service provided by AXA's ‘Doctor Please!’ app and offered through Empire Life can offer globally mobile employees 24/7 access to licensed providers from any mobile device in multiple languages. Adding this new Telemedicine service creates additional assurance that members will have access to care when they need it.
