If you are thinking about retirement, you already know your workplace benefits will not continue automatically.
But what does a retiree health plan actually include—and how do you know if it is enough?
ASEBP’s MyRetiree Plan was built specifically for Alberta education workers to help bridge the health coverage gaps left behind after retirement.
Here is a simple breakdown of what it covers—and why it matters.
Why many retirees need additional coverage
Even with provincial programs like the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) or the Coverage for Seniors Program, there are still important gaps in care.
Without additional coverage, expenses can quickly add up and become harder to manage on a fixed retirement income.
What ASEBP’s MyRetiree Plan includes
MyRetiree Plan focuses on the most common health needs retirees continue to have—helping you stay supported in your day-to-day life.
- Prescription drug coverage – helps manage one of the most common ongoing expenses in retirement
- Extended health services – includes services like physiotherapy, massage therapy, and other paramedical supports that help maintain your health and mobility
- Dental and vision care – routine care like dental check-ups, procedures, eye exams, and glasses remain essential but are not fully covered by provincial plans
- Emergency travel coverage – travel with confidence knowing your plan includes
- No age cap
- No stability clause
Built for flexibility and real-life retirement needs
Retirement is not one-size-fits-all—and your benefits should not be either.
With MyRetiree Plan, you can:
- Choose coverage options that match your needs
- Align your plan with your retirement budget
- Avoid paying for benefits you are not expecting to use
This flexibility helps you balance comprehensive coverage with affordability, both now and in the future.
How ASEBP’s MyRetiree Plan supports a smooth transition
Timing your coverage matters when moving from active benefits into retirement is important.
MyRetiree Plan is designed to make the transition seamless and familiar. Members will continue using the same ID card and claims process you are used to, with coverage that closely mirrors your active benefits—generally with lower maximums (especially for Extended Health Care).
This familiarity helps make the transition into retirement feel smooth and easy.
MyRetiree Plan allows you to:
- Apply up to 30 days before your retirement date
- Avoid gaps in coverage
- Maintain uninterrupted access to prescriptions and services
This ensures a smoother, more confident transition into retirement—without added stress or uncertainty.
Is ASEBP’s MyRetiree Plan right for you?
MyRetiree Plan may be a strong fit if you:
- Want predictable monthly health expenses
- Expect ongoing prescription, dental, or health needs
- Plan to travel outside Alberta or Canada
Because it was created with Alberta education workers in mind, the plan reflects the real needs and lifestyles of those transitioning into retirement.
