Member Assistance Program Reminder

December 3, 2024

As outlined in the November 7, 2024 communication in ReSource, the Saskatchewan Lawyers’ Insurance Association (SLIA) has recently engaged Manitoba Blue Cross to provide members with enhanced support for mental health and counselling services through a Member Assistance Program (MAP). As your firm’s Designated Representative, please share information on the new MAP with all Law Society members in your firm. 

Over the next few weeks, members who have not already registered with Manitoba Blue Cross to access the MAP coverage will receive an enrollment reminder email from Manitoba Blue Cross:

 

 

 

 

 

Please advise your firm members that this is not spam and to check their junk email folder if they have not received an enrollment email from Manitoba Blue Cross to date. In addition, please convey the following information: 

• the email references “your employer” which refers to SLIA who is the benefits administrator of the MAP; 

• the enrollment form (accessed through the link in the original and reminder emails) will display pages regarding the coordination of benefits and direct deposit which do not require completion for MAP coverage; and

• when registering, members should select “no” to the coordination of benefits and use the toggle button to skip the direct deposit setup. 

Importantly, any of your firm members who have not consented to have their emails published through the Law Society member database will not receive an email from Manitoba Blue Cross. They can enroll in the program by filling out a registration form and returning it to Manitoba Blue Cross via fax to 1-204-772-1231 or email to [email protected]. 

For further information, please visit the Law Society Health and Wellness webpage or contact SLIA via phone at 306-569-3091 or email to [email protected].
