WHEN IS COST PLUS USED?
Cost Plus is used to reimburse health or dental expenses not fully covered under the Extended Health or Dental Care plan.
To be considered for reimbursement, the expense must be eligible under the Income Tax Act (Canada).
Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) may determine that Cost Plus benet coverage does not qualify as a Private Health Services Plan,
and therefore any Cost Plus claim processed on this basis may not qualify as a valid business expense or as non-taxable income to the
plan member. Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has indicated that a personal Cost Plus plan for the owner/proprietor (and dependents)
only may not qualify as a Private Health Services Plan.
To determine if Cost Plus benet coverage is the right solution for your business, please seek the appropriate tax advice.
TO SUBMIT A COST PLUS CLAIM, WE REQUIRE THE FOLLOWING
A fully completed Cost Plus Claim Form, signed by the Plan Administrator.
The original itemized receipt for each expense claimed. Cash register tapes and credit card receipts are not accepted.
If the claim has been partially paid by a group benets program, please attach the Explanation of Benets (EOB) from
the insurance company. Original receipts are not required when the EOB is included.
Payment to RBC Insurance
®
in the amount of the total expenses being claimed, plus our administration fee, plus applicable taxes.

Notes
Administration fee: 10% of total claimed amount, subject to a minimum charge of $25 per claim and a maximum
of $300 per claim;
The minimum claim amount eligible for reimbursement is $100. Receipts must be accumulated to an amount of $100
or more per plan member before submission.
