April 19, 2023 – Gotodoctor.ca, a leading healthcare access solution company in Canada, is pleased to announce it has signed a partnership agreement with Automated Administration Services (AAS), a leading benefits administration firm specializing in group life, health and disability coverages.

Gotodoctor.ca is thrilled to partner with Automated Administration Services and strengthen its market position as Canada’s largest virtual/in-person primary care network. This follows the most recent milestones of partnering with Green Benefits, Simply Benefits and Manitoba Blue Cross. Gotodoctor.ca now connects to an estimated a million Canadians through its online portal, virtual clinics in pharmacies, in-person clinics, employers and insurance partners. With its integrated virtual care with pharmacies and in-person clinics, Gotodoctor.ca has established a unique service distribution model that goes beyond virtual care and enables patients to receive comprehensive care from physicians, pharmacists, and health professionals on-site.

Established in 1985, Automated Administration Services was formed to provide employers, associations and other plan sponsors greater flexibility in plan design and administration services. AAS enables organizations to outsource all technical aspects of administering their employee benefits programs, including ASO, self-funding, fully insured, and HSA. More importantly, as an industry leader, AAS was a founding organization for The Third Party Administrators’ Association of Canada (TPAAC).

“We are excited to be offering our holistic primary care and employee health benefit services to members of Automated Administration Services,” said Tommy Cheung, CEO of Gotodoctor.ca. “AAS has deep industry knowledge and expertise in the Third Party Administration arena. Our partnership will allow us to accelerate the implementation and uptake of our service and technology platform by Canadians across the country.”

“We are delighted to add Gotodoctor.ca’s services to our platform with its unique product and service offerings,” said Keith Foot, President of Automated Administration Services. “With the current state of the Canadian healthcare system, we recognise Gotodoctor.ca is providing a solution for our clients to access healthcare in a cost-effective and timely manner.”

About Automated Administrative Services

In 1985, the changing requirements of many plan sponsors (employers & associations) for greater flexibility in plan design and administration services led to the formation of Automated Administration Services Inc. (AAS)

AAS allows organizations to outsource most of the work involved in the technical aspects of administering their employee benefits programs.

“We can talk ASO, Self funding, Fully insured, and HSA with the best of them. But we prefer to speak with our clients about administering their group benefits in plain English.”

That attitude has helped propel Automated Administration Services Inc. from its modest beginnings in 1985 to today: a leading benefits administration firm specializing in group life, health and disability coverages.

AAS has been a pioneer in the Third Party Administration (TPA) arena and was instrumental in the founding and launching The Third Party Administrators’ Association of Canada (TPAAC), a not-for-profit industry-wide association. In addition to being appointed as the Director of Membership of TPAAC, our President, Keith Foot, has also been on the Board of Directors since the Association’s inception in 2003.
