Advantages of my coverage

In addition to your Plan coverage, you have access to other services, including:

  • Online Services: an online coverage manager to make changes to your coverage and to enrol your spouse and/or dependent children during the Change-of-Coverage Period, and access to the insurer’s website to check your claims’ status online
  • Studentcare Networks: Networks of over 3,000 health-care practitioners across Canada who have reduced the cost of their services for Plan members

Online Opt Outs and Enrolments

During the Change-of-Coverage Period, if you’re an eligible student, you can change your coverage, enrol your spouse and/or dependent children, or opt out of the Plan through the online coverage manager.  If you are eligible, you can also enrol yourself here.
