What we accept
UHIP
The University Health Insurance Plan, held by most international students and their dependants at Ontario universities.
GuardMe
Common at colleges, language schools and some universities, and for shorter study terms.
OHIP
If you have become eligible for an Ontario health card, bring that instead.
The clinic bills UHIP, GuardMe and other private insurance directly where it can. If it can't bill your plan, you're told before the visit, so there are no surprises at the counter.
What to bring
- Your UHIP or GuardMe card, or your policy number.
- Photo ID — a passport or student card.
- Your student number, if your school administers the plan.
- Any immunization records you have, including from your home country.
- Any university or college medical form you need completed.

- Vaccination and medical forms for enrolment
- Colds, flu, sore throats and infections
