My Benefits Card

The faster and easier way to use your benefits without completing claims forms and waiting for cheques in the mail or direct deposit in your bank account.

By presenting your Benefits Card and your valid Student ID card, the service providers will send your claim electronically, the insurance carrier will pay the covered amount, and you only pay the portion not covered.

Direct billing is based on the service provider's billing practices and whether they are set up for direct billing.

How to get your Benefit Cards

Complete the card generator form by proving your full name as it appears on the college files and your student ID number without letters. Download or print your benefit card to get direct billing.

Tips to ensure your Benefit Cards work well for you:

  • Save your three cards on your mobile wallet to access them anytime.
  • Confirm with the service providers if they offer direct billing.
  • Present the correct benefit card when you are accessing benefits.
  • Identify the Group Number and the Certificate Number listed on the cards.
  • If you purchased family coverage, your dependents would use the student's cards.

Direct Billing Providers

Find a provider nearby who can submit your claims directly to Canada Life. You do not have to download or complete forms; and, you only pay for the portion not covered by the plan. Present your benefits card when you arrive at the provider's location.

You are not required to visit one of the providers in this listing, you can use your benefits anywhere in Canada, this is to help you find a provider if you do not have one.
