Wellness Support Through Paramedical Services
Q: What paramedical services are covered under the 60+ Plan?
A: The 60+ Plan covers paramedical services like physiotherapy, massage therapy, chiropractic care, and acupuncture, with reimbursement ranging from 30% to 70% based on accumulated hours.
Tom had always been active, but as he got older, he began to notice occasional aches and stiffness that made it harder to keep up his routine. Curious about his options, he looked into whether the 60+ Plan covered services like physiotherapy or massage therapy.
He was pleased to learn that the 60+ Plan includes a range of paramedical services—including physiotherapy, massage therapy, chiropractic care, and acupuncture—all covered under the “All Other Expenses” category. The plan offers up to $700 per person, per calendar year, with the reimbursement percentage based on total eligible hours worked with IATSE Local 891:
20,000–29,999 hours: 30% reimbursement
30,000–39,999 hours: 40% reimbursement
40,000–49,999 hours: 50% reimbursement
50,000–59,999 hours: 60% reimbursement
60,000+ hours: 70% reimbursement
Because of his long work history, Tom qualified for the 70% reimbursement tier, which made accessing treatment more affordable. He booked an appointment with his physiotherapist, confident that the plan would help offset the costs of staying mobile and pain-free.
For Tom, the paramedical benefits were a key part of what made the 60+ Plan so valuable—providing practical support that empowered him to stay healthy and active throughout retirement.
