Exciting Updates to the ORWP
July 1st 2025
With 1,066,743 health claims submitted since the Ontario REALTOR® Wellness Program (ORWP) launched, we’re excited to share that your coverage is getting even better!
Effective July 1, 2025, you now have access to the following upgrades to the ORWP:
Expanded Paramedical Coverage
The annual combined maximum under the Standard and Enhanced Plans is now $800 (up from $750).
Plus, there is an expanded list of eligible providers. The full list is in your ORWP Plan Member Booklet on orwp.ca.
Better Hearing Aid Coverage
Hearing aids are now covered separately, with a $1,000 maximum every 60 months.
Previously, this benefit was under the Medical Services and Supplies category, which has an annual combined maximum of $500 under the Standard Plan.
New Hospital Benefit
The ORWP now includes coverage for semi-private hospital rooms, with a $250 annual maximum.
Mental Health Coverage for Eligible Dependent Children
Eligible dependent children currently insured under your plan now have access to a new mental health benefit with an annual combined maximum of $1,000 under each of the four plan options.
This is now a separate benefit from the insured child’s other paramedical coverage.
To be eligible, your child(ren) must already be enrolled in your ORWP coverage (through the Program Administrator). The next opportunity to enroll eligible dependents will be during the upcoming Open Enrollment Period in late 2025.
Important to Know
There is no increase to the current cost, and no action is required to receive the updated coverage.
These changes took effect on July 1, 2025, and claims incurred before this date are not eligible.
All eligible paramedical claims incurred since January 1, 2025, will count toward the new annual combined limits.
You will not receive a new balance mid-year. However, claims incurred before July 1, 2025, remain subject to the previous maximums and cannot be resubmitted.
Your plan’s existing reimbursement level and other eligibility criteria continue to apply.
Having up-to-date beneficiary details for your Life Insurance and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance is critical for ensuring your assets are distributed tax-free and without delay to your beneficiary(ies). Sign into your account at orwp.ca to confirm.
