Manulife illustrations insurance online tool

Always current, always available – say hello to the Manulife Illustrations insurance online tool. This tool is accessible on your laptop or iPad while you’re on the go, and there’s no wasted time waiting for CD software updates. Enjoy a sleek new design that’s easy to use and understand.

You can run illustrations for Family Term, Business Term, Family Term with VitalityTM, and Manulife Par illustrations with Estate Bond (Corporate) and Insured Retirement Program (Corporate) sales concepts. Coming soon is the Family Term Renewal Calculator: Term-10. This self-serve tool will enable you to calculate the next renewal cost for Term-10 coverages instead of relying on our Manulife call centre to calculate this information for you.

Access the tool either through the Tools tab on Repsource (private) and click on Manulife Illustrations or from the Diamond View software homepage.

Disability insurance available to more students and new grads

Manulife’s Grad Advantage Program (GAP), which offers disability insurance to students and new graduates, now includes three more professions: college computer graduates, electricians and plumbers. College computer grads qualify in either the final year of their diploma program or the first year of work. Electrical and plumbing apprentices and first-year journeymen are eligible.

Because students and new grads often don’t have an established financial track record, Manulife continues to waive, for select professions, the financial underwriting normally required for disability insurance. Eligible GAP clients may also qualify for a 15 per cent discount on the Proguard Series®.

18–40 Monthly benefit up to and including $6,000 (additional insurance rider [AIR] not factored in)

Note: All health care workers who perform invasive procedures or are exposed to blood products require a blood profile with a hepatitis screen or proof of vaccination. Applicants for a health protection rider (HPR) where a blood profile is required will also require a hepatitis screen or proof of vaccination.

Manulife Vitality available on health and dental coverage

We’ve expanded the Manulife Vitality program1 to our health and dental products so that your clients can earn rewards and save on their premiums, all while helping to improve their health.

The Manulife Vitality program is now available to adult primary policyholders as an optional add-on to new Flexcare® and FollowMe™2 health and dental plans, but not as a stand-alone coverage.

The Manulife Vitality option is competitively priced with a 5 per cent discount on the first-year premium. Premiums are adjusted on each policy anniversary based on the policyholder’s Vitality Status™.

Participating members can choose a Garmin Vivofit®43 at no extra cost, or they can choose to earn a free Series 3 or Series 5 Apple Watch,4 with monthly payments based on the number of Vitality Points™ earned each month. The more points earned monthly, the less they pay! Other rewards include discounts with Hotels.com5 and GoodLife Fitness,6 as well as a complimentary annual health assessment
