YOUR OCAD U STUDENT HEALTH AND DENTAL PLAN
OCAD University offers a health, dental and travel insurance plan to students, provided by www.studentcare.ca. Students registered in a full-time workload are automatically opted in to the plan. All students are able to make changes to their coverage during the first month of studies by opting in, opting out or adding dependents to the health and/or dental plans.
Students can access an overview of each area of coverage, pay-direct cards, travel health passports, and much more online at www.studentcare.ca.
The Plan is a valuable service provided by OCAD U to provide its students with the extended health and dental coverage they need beyond provincial health care or basic health-care programs such as UHIP.
The Plan is a comprehensive package of health and dental benefits designed for you including:
- prescription drugs;
- health practitioners (e.g. psychotherapists, physiotherapists, massage therapists, etc.);
- dental exams and cleanings;
- fillings and root canals;
- travel health coverage and more.
Consult your Plan Brochure/Reference Guide, visit www.studentcare.ca, or contact the Studentcare Member Services Centre at 1.855.535.3284 for more coverage details.
You might want to double-check. Some insurance plans will stop covering you completely if you’re a part-time student over 21 or a full-time student over the age of 25. Additionally, other plans may not cover vaccinations and/or travel insurance.
Most plans won’t cover all your health-care costs on their own, but you can combine your Health Plan with another plan for up to 100% coverage.
The Change-of-Coverage Period is the period at the beginning of the semester when you can either opt out of or enroll your spouse and/or dependent children in the OCAD U Student Health and Dental Plan. Students who are not automatically covered, but who are eligible for the Plan, can also enroll themselves and their spouse and/or dependent children during this period.
