The Plan was designed to provide many important services and cover expenses such as prescription drugs, health practitioners, medical equipment, travel health coverage, which are not covered by a basic health-care plan (i.e. OHIP) or the equivalent (such as UHIP for international students). More information about the UTGSU benefit coverage, including coverage period, family coverage and claim forms are available on the health and dental section of the UTGSU website.
