Recommendation #17 of the Anti-Fraud Task Force recommended that insurers itemize the list of invoices they have received when they provide a benefit statement to a claimant every two months. Ontario Regulation 14/13 amended the SABS to include a number of changes recommended by the Task Force including providing the Superintendent with authority to issue a standard form that insurers must use when issuing bi-monthly benefit statements.
The Superintendent has now released the Standard Benefit Statement form that insurers must use.
Insurers have eight months to perform the necessary system
and operational changes in order to begin producing Statements beginning
September 1, 2014.
Subsection 64 (2) of the SABS authorizes delivery of
Statements by multiple methods, e.g., by ordinary mail, or by email if
the claimant has agreed to delivery by email.
The new form can be found here.
