Your Benefits work exactly the same, or better, even if you’re remote. No matter where you’re located across Canada, students have full access to their Health & Dental Benefits or International Medical Plan. You can visit any registered clinic in the country, submit a claim, and even access Virtual Service through the Direct2U Health Hub. Find out more in the sections below!

Your Benefits Card

First things first, you need your personalized Benefits Card to access your benefits!
Be sure to bring it with you when you visit the dentist office, the chiropractic clinic, the pharmacy, when you travel, or anywhere else you are covered. You can download your Benefits Card to your smartphone (Apple Wallet & Google Pay) for quick and easy access, or print a copy to put in your wallet. International Students will need to download both cards in order to be able to access your medical and dental plans!

How to Make a Claim

Some providers or clinics will have the option to direct-bill to your plan, meaning little to no out-of-pocket expenses! If a clinic can't direct-bill, you must pay for the service, then submit a claim for reimbursement. Find out how to submit a claim from anywhere!

You can also add your spouse or partner & dependent children to your plan.
