The plan card is used by eligible students enrolled in the student health and dental plans where direct billing is available. To make direct billing work for you, simply show your card when you use eligible services covered by the plan. Direct billing is based on your service provider's billing practices and may not always be available.
To avoid issues when using your Plan Card, you must register with GreenShield Canada at https://gsceverywhere.ca/register and update your address, including the postal code in the profile section because some providers cannot direct bill if your address has not been added to your profile with GreenShield.
There is a 45-day validation period from the start of the term. During this time, you will have to pay out of pocket for all eligible Health and Dental expenses and keep the receipts. After the enrollment process is complete, you will be able to submit online claims for reimbursement and your plan card will be automatically activated.
The Plan Card is automatically activated for new eligible students once the validation period is complete. Eligible returning students can continue using the same Plan Card as the policy information remains the same. You do not need to generate a new card every year.
