The Entente Plus Group Insurance Program is one of the top reasons our members join RTOERO (soon to be Entente Education Canada) — and we’re continuing to strengthen it for the future.
Starting Jan. 1, 2026, GreenShield will become the new administrator [1] of the Entente Plus program, replacing Belairdirect (formerly Johnson Insurance). This change ensures our program remains efficient, modern and member-focused. RTOERO continues to own and operate the plan on a non-profit basis, and the coverage and plans are unchanged.
Here are five reasons we’re excited about this change:
- Enhanced service in English and French — extended hours from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. ET to support members across Canada.
- A new, easy-to-use online portal and mobile app — designed specifically for Entente Plus members.
- Faster claims and direct deposit reimbursements — backed by modern technology.
- In-depth data and insights — helping us anticipate member needs and strengthen the plan over time.
- A proudly Canadian organization — GreenShield shares our commitment to equitable access to health care and better health for all.
If you decide to join the Entente Plus program after Jan. 1, you’ll enjoy these new tools and features right from the start. And remember — your RTOERO membership is free until retirement [2], and the fee is waived when you join the Entente Plus program, giving you full access to all the benefits of belonging to a strong, supportive community.
We look forward to welcoming you to our organization when you’re ready to join — and helping you enjoy the protection, peace of mind and community connection that joining with us provides.
Sincerely,
Jim Grieve
CEO, RTOERO (soon to be Entente Education Canada [3])
