OPSEU to cover medical cannabis for employees

TORONTO, June 16, 2017 /CNW/ – On June 15, the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) began rolling out a new benefit that provides medical cannabis coverage for insured OPSEU staff.

Cannabis can be an effective treatment for a variety of medical conditions. And as the laws around it continue to modernize, employers should keep up with the times.

With this new benefit, insured employees and their spouses and dependants can claim up to $3,000 a year for medical cannabis. For these claims to be eligible, they must be prescriptions from licensed physicians, and the cannabis must be obtained from organizations legally authorized to produce and sell medical cannabis.

There will be no limitation on the medical conditions eligible for medical cannabis coverage under the new benefit.
