Key Contact Information

 

General information

 

The University has an agreement with Green Shield Canada (GSC) whereby the University has full liability for Healthcare (other than GSC Travel Assistance) and Dental care benefits outlined on this website and the Pension and Benefits Booklet (pdf).

This means that the University has agreed to fund these benefits, and they are, therefore, uninsured. All claims will be processed by Green Shield Canada.

On any occasion when a significant expense is expected, covered individuals are encouraged to submit a cost estimate or predetermination/treatment plan to Green Shield Canada beforehand. This can be done by having the practitioner provide a predetermination of benefits. Pre-determination forms are available through your GSC everywhere account and Green Shield Canada’s Customer Support Centre.  

To find out what is covered under your benefit contract, or for any issues with claim payments, please contact Green Shield Canada directly or login to your GSC everywhereaccount.
