SERVICES
Our Student Health and Dental Plan was implemented democratically, by referendum of the student body. We are proud to offer a plan that balances great benefits and low cost. We use Canada's only non-profit student health insurance provider, Green Shield. To help us deliver it efficiently and effectively, please familiarize yourself with the information below.
Medical Services Plan
The OCSU extended health and dental plans do not replace basic provincial medical insurance benefits.
Basic health insurance is mandatory as long as you are a permanent resident of British Columbia. This coverage may be comprised of the Medical Services Plan or other provincial health plans.
In order to claim health benefits under the OCSU Extended Health Plan, you must be covered by the BC Medical Services Plan (MSP), or have other equivalent basic coverage such as other provincial health care or private basic health insurance.
Black Out Period
While we wait for Okanagan College to confirm your enrollment your claims processing will be delayed. This delay can take up to two months.
Students’ Benefit Card
Present your Student Benefit card to any pharmacist or dentist in Canada to have your claim processed immediately (some dental offices do not have this option available.) Once processed you will not have to pay the full amount of your bill. Student Benefit cards are available from the OCSU office on your campus.
