Canada Life Group Insurance has expanded its Best Doctors service offering with the launch of Doctor Online.
Doctor Online is a simple and confidential way for eligible Canada Life members to contact experienced GPs for personalised answers to non-urgent medical questions. Answers will be provided within 72 hours.
The doctors are able to give advice if a member has a medical question that is worrying them or simply if they would like some reassurance about something their own doctor has discussed with them.
The service is also intended to provide general information on health care issues.
This service will be available to all insured and non-insured employees for Group Income Protection, insured employees for Group Critical Illness policyholders and the immediate family members of eligible scheme members.
Paul Avis, marketing director at Canada Life Group Insurance said: "We want to continue to increase the visibility of this important service and so the launch of Doctor Online provides another access point for employees and family members and helps to build a higher profile for the second medical opinion services offered by Best Doctors.
"We would urge all employers insured with us to encourage their eligible employees and family members to take advantage of the great service that is offered from a world-leading and trusted supplier."
