907.0. "changes in drug plan ????" by OTOOA::MACLELLAN (GET OVER IT) Mon Mar 27 1995 16:30

    Does anyone know who the Canadian Human Resources Benifits Manager is ?
    
    I heard from my pharmacist that our company drug plan has not had any
    new additions to it since 1993. HR here in Hull is following up on this
    for me but they are slow in responding to my request for further 
    information. (voice mail at it's worst)
     
    has any one else heard about this problem with our drug plan ?

907.1Problem? What Problem?KAOFS::LOCKYERMon Mar 27 1995 16:477
    What do you (or your pharmacist) mean by "has not had any new additions
    to it since 1003"?  Why is this a problem?
    
    Regards,
    
    Garry

    Sorry guy. I just read the memo explaining the changes in HR.
    I need a players program to the players guide.
    
    The Jul 1994 memo states that HR consulting is consolidating into 
    three central groups..in Kanata, Hull and Toronto.
    Then it supplies 3 contact names based on YOUR job function if you work
    outside Kanata.
    Yet it states that these do not apply to the Hull's HR services and
    business group.
    
    It lost me by then.
    Who do you call to find out if your question is a services question or a 
    consulting question?  That maybe a business decision.
    
    So here's what works. You call the wrong person, apologise for wasting
    their time, and have them give you the right name.
    Then come back here and tell us the correct person.
    We all do that 10 or 100 times and we'll have HR completely mapped out.
    
    
    Here's the header to the memo. If you don't have it filed, let me know
    I can forward it along.

    Gary, according to the folks at SunLife who manage our plan, we have
    not had any new drugs or products added for coverage since 1993. This
    means that any new drugs that have come on the market since this time
    are not covered at the time of purchase. The drug my son was prescribed
    is called BIAXIN and it is a relatively new antibiotic. The bill was
    $58.00 + change at the time of purchase. OUCH !!!!
    Why is it a problem that we haven't added any new products to our drug
    plan - many old antibiotics just don't work that good anymore - there
    are many new drugs added every day to fight bacterias and other medical
    problems. Digital isn't keeping up with the technology of today - in
    yet we sell our customer on this - bit hypocritical if you ask me.
    
    I'll update this note after I call Juliana.
