UHIP - International Students
What is UHIP (University Health Insurance Plan)?
UHIP is basic health care insurance for non-resident students and employees at participating universities. UHIP provides insurance to pay the cost of the hospital and medical services that students or employees and their families might need to maintain their health while in Canada. All international (non-resident) students must have health care insurance while studying in Ontario. The University will we be aware that you are an International student per your registration and you will be automatically enrolled for UHIP.
If you are a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident and do not have OHIP coverage you must contact Student Financial Services at King’s University College to request UHIP coverage. Our office can order up to 3 months of UHIP coverage for you, while you apply for OHIP. If your OHIP application is denied we can extend your UHIP coverage beyond the 3 months, with a copy of the letter from OHIP stating that you were declined coverage.
