Subject: Change of EDMP Provider LifeMark to TeksMed

Menno Place is committed to supporting the health and wellness of our employees. We are writing to inform you that, effective November 1, 2025, our Employee Disability Management Program (EDMP) provider will change from LifeMark to TeksMed.

What This Means for You

If you are currently active in EDMP, you will receive an Authorization Form to release your EDMP file, including medical information, from LifeMark to TeksMed. Please ensure you complete and return this form by October 13, 2025. Forms are expected to be sent to employees this week via email.

TeksMed’s role will include:

  • Assisting with the completion and submission of WorkSafeBC Form 7s.
  • Developing and coordinating suitable return-to-work plans.
  • Ensuring best practices are followed in all aspects of disability management, including:
    • Reviewing job demands.
    • Identifying and supporting modified duties.
    • Preparing employee return-to-work packages.

Benefits for Staff

Through TeksMed, employees will have access to:

  • Expedited healthcare such as rapid access to scans and specialist appointments.
  • Expedited mental healthcare services to support overall well-being.
  •  Virtual Injury Assistance: direct access to workplace injury specialists and physiotherapists through a virtual injury hotline. Employees can receive virtual assessments, medical care, recommendations, and advice on modified duties, along with general guidance throughout their recovery.

We believe this transition will enhance the support and resources available to employees when managing medical leaves and return-to-work processes.

Thank you for your attention and cooperation.
