MANULIFE GROUP BENEFITS
What role does Livelii play?
Livelii acts as a plan sponsor and administers group health and dental benefits plans for our members as provided by Manulife. That includes handling all of the administrative tasks, answering your questions about plan details, providing members with policy and member ID numbers, and your plan member booklet. We also negotiate the plan inclusions and pricing on behalf of our membership and welcome your input throughout our relationship via surveys or directly at support@livelii.io.
Do I qualify for Livelii's Health, Dental and Life Insurance benefits?
Our services and products are available throughout Canada (with the exception of Quebec - sorry guys, we’ll be there soon!) to independent workers, contractors, freelancers, consultants, gig workers or whatever you’d like to call yourself! We require your business to be a Canadian sole proprietorship or incorporation of one (you as the sole director and employee) as your business structure.
Businesses that have employees are not currently eligible for our products. You’ve also got to be over 18, and under 65 with a Canadian financial institution bank account.
What if I, or my family members have coverage under another plan?
Our plans and policies can be used in tandem with other coverage secured under the individual members name, as well as for coordination of benefits with plans secured under dependants names (policies that your spouse has registered you for). Just let us know while you're registering and we'll be sure to have it noted on your file.
What does the enrolment process look like?
Our enrolment process is simple: 1) Signup and begin your registration process through our website. 2) Once you have reached eligibility (i.e. completed the 90-day waiting period) you will be enrolled on your selected plan.
Can I check if a specific drug is covered?
We act as a plan sponsor and administer group benefits plans for our members as provided by Manulife. Our plan is designed to support individuals and their families who meet our criteria, and is not intended to address specific medical conditions or unique situations, although some coverage may apply. In the event that specific conditions or unique situations exist, we do not complete DIN coverage inquiries, or pre-authorization requests to qualify specific medications, dental procedures or extended health care. It is our intent to provide a benefits plan and policy equivalent to what would be provided by a traditional employer for your members.
PRIVACY

If we are unable to process your payment for any reason, we’ll keep bugging you to settle your tab.

This Penalty Fee will be used to offset any increases in costs absorbed by our Members by your default.
