There are two different types of health insurance programs for University Of Toronto students. Change forms are available in the Health Services Clinic Waiting Room. Students from other provinces are usually covered under their own provincial plans, but regulations vary from province to province. Some provinces require students attending out of province universities to submit a letter of acceptance to the university as well as proof of registration for the current year. Please check the regulations for your province.
Provinces differ in the services covered by their health insurance plans.
If you are an out of province student, be sure you are aware of the coverage you will receive while in Ontario. This includes international students, exchange students and returning Canadians in their 3 month OHIP wait period. The plan covers students and their dependents for most doctors' and hospital visits in Ontario to the same level as OHIP coverage. Once participants have been issued a card by the UHIP office at the International Student Centre, they may use this card to show proof of enrollment in the plan. Some doctors offices will bill the plan administrators directly for their services, others will make the students pay and then they may claim compensation by sending a claim form and receipt to the plan administrators.
