Member Benefits

Medical Monitoring Cost-Sharing

Public Education Benefits Trust (PEBT) will reimburse a portion of medical monitoring costs to ensure eligible K-12 support staff members throughout British Columbia who are recovering from addictions or substance misuse have access to affordable medical monitoring services as part of their continuum of care.

Medical monitoring is the independent third-party, randomized drug/alcohol testing and treatment monitoring to deter the misuse of drugs and alcohol, particularly in the workplace.

Reimbursements

  • Effective January 1, 2024, the PEBT may reimburse two-thirds of the total cost, to a maximum of $9,000 per Member annually.

Eligible members are K-12 unionized support staff eligible to receive PEBT Core LTD benefits, as defined in the Core Long Term Disability (LTD) program text.

Claims

Near the end of the calendar year or after a member’s medical monitoring period, the school district forwards to the PEBT a Medical Monitoring Reimbursement Request form, including a copy of the medical monitoring receipts. If the member did not participate in the PEBT JEIS or LTD programs, then documentation of the member’s LTD coverage is also required. Claims will be reimbursed if receipts are submitted within 90 days after the end of the calendar year.
