My Plan Details
Here’s what you need to know about your GSC student health and dental plan.
In-Active Period
You may be in a temporary in-active period while GreenShield collects and updates your enrolment information. Don’t worry - you can still submit paper claims. We will process your claims once your information is updated.
Once the enrolment is complete and the in-active period ends, you can sign up for online services at greenshield.ca/student. Our online member portal provides quick and easy access to:
- Online claim submission
- Your benefit booklet
- Search for a benefit provider
- Search drugs by DIN to check eligibility
- And much more!
Once the in-active period ends, you can even submit claims right from your mobile device. Just download our GSC app. Could it get any easier?
Remember, your GS ID number is your three-letter school code, your student number and “-00” (example: CTA111222333-00).
