Key Principles of CSBT

The CSBT is based on four key principles that guide the Trust’s operations.

The principles are:

• The plans are available on a fully insured basis. Member organizations have no financial liability associated with the plan’s financial successes or challenges. Member agencies’ only financial requirements are to pay their monthly premiums.
• The program engages and consults with participating agencies – The CSBT has regular communication with member agencies and provides participating organizations with opportunities to provide feedback.
• The plan has no operational requirements – As a non-profit trust, the CSBT does not directly employ staff or own buildings. To meet this mandate, the CSBT has outsourced the delivery of the plan to GroupHEALTH Benefit Solutions and their national network of Advisor Partners.
• All CSBT benefit plans shall be delivered through CSBT Board certified insurance experts – The CSBT utilizes the GroupHEALTH network of Advisor Partners to deliver person-centered services to community service organizations across Canada.
