August 28, 2024 – GotoDoctor, a leading healthcare technology provider, welcomes Union Benefits to its expanding insurance partners. The adoption of another prominent insurance enterprise further recognizes GotoDoctor’s unique offering in integrating public and employee benefit services and improving access to care for its members.

Union Benefits, a premier benefit administrator established since 1983, is Canada’s only third-party administration company owned and built by the union trust funds. The dedicated team is committed to providing the highest levels of administration and benefit consulting services in the industry. Union Benefits builds on union values with an “at-cost” business model and services over 10,000 members and 17 multi-employer union locals in construction, theatrical and other trades. It delivers comprehensive support and expertise to Trustees, including trust fund, pension plan, benefit plan and other comprehensive administration services.

GotoDoctor is improving access to care by reducing wait-time and inefficiencies by building the largest ecosystem for public and employee benefit services. Its suite of innovative care offerings are delivered both virtually and in-person through its network of pharmacy and medical clinics. Together with its advanced, proprietary technology, Service Engine, it enables a uniform and frictionless experience for members.

Union Benefits will introduce the GotoDoctor 360 Employee Health Program to its plan sponsors and their members, including:
● Access to virtual physician care nation-wide, with in-person services at GotoDoctor pharmacies and clinic locations
● Improve family physician, specialist, diagnostic imaging and surgical care access through health system navigator
● Expand care options using medical second opinions from Canadian and US experts.

“We are pleased to introduce the GotoDoctor health services to our members and our own staff team,” says Will Justason, Head of Trust Management. “Their cost-effective and comprehensive care approach aligns with our focus to deliver a high level of personal service while managing benefit costs.”

“Health benefit services should integrate with the available public healthcare system and not be pulling already strained resources to create a parallel process,” says Tommy Cheung, Founder and CEO of Gotodoctor. “Our team at GotoDoctor is thrilled to be selected by Union Benefits to service its locals and members so they can have a seamless experience on their health and wellness journeys.”
