How to Claim*

 

*Deadlines: Please review the deadlines for submitting claims as the insurance company will not accept claims past these deadlines. 

IMPORTANT: To be eligible for the supplementary plans, students must have OHIP, coverage from another province, or UHIP for international students, which cover expenses such as visits to your doctor or the hospital. In some instances upfront payment will be required in advance. Additionally, there may be some out-of-pocket expenses not covered by UHIP.  For more information regarding UHIP, please visit this webpage
