Group insurance plans in place at colleges and universities help reduce the financial burden of health/dental expenses during one’s school career. What’s more, these plans can be accompanied by a student assistance program providing rapid access to low-cost mental health resources for the student community.
Group insurance plans are set up with the help of student associations or college and university administrations. Group insurance is implemented following extensive consultation with students to determine their needs.
All students are automatically enrolled in the insurance plan. Insurance fees are billed on your school’s statement of account.

You can also go directly to your student association/educational institution’s page in the Claims 101 section for the same information.
Here’s what’s important to include when sending your claims to the Plan Major team. In addition, we strongly recommend that you include a specimen cheque for faster reimbursement.
- Full name (first + last)
- School attended
- Group number
- Certificate number
*Your certificate number is either your student number (SSN), your major code, your permanent code or your truncated SSN, depending on your educational institution. To find out your certificate number, please consult the “Important numbers” card on your student association/educational institution page in the Claims 101 section.
There are two main numbers to remember when using your insurance or communicating with Plan Major → the certificate number and the group number. The certificate number is unique to each individual. It identifies you to us. The group number is the same for all members of your association.
Depending on your student association, the certificate number may be your student number, your permanent code or your Major code. You can find this information along with your group number in the Claims 101 tab on your association/educational institution page.
The Major code is a code unique to you that will serve as your certificate number for all your claims. This code is provided by the Plan Major team by completing a form.
You can find this form directly on your student association/educational institution page in the Plan section.
The truncated DA is your student number (DA) minus the first 2 digits.
When a member of the Plan Major team informs you that your claim has been processed and that we have your bank details, the refund should be issued within 5 working days. If this is not the case, the refund may take longer and will be sent by cheque to the address we have on file.
By downloading the mobile app or on the web portal, from your profile, you can complete your claims and provide receipts as required. In addition, we strongly recommend that you personalize your banking details under “Direct Deposit”, if you wish to receive your reimbursement more quickly. You will be asked to create your login using your certificate number, group number, date of birth and postal code from your school file.
If you enter your mobile application and your dashboard shows N/A, your coverage is INACTIVE. If you make any claims at this time, they will be automatically declined.
Inactive coverage can occur for a variety of reasons. Here are a few examples:
Your institution is currently in a modification period.
Your tuition fees have not been paid in full.
Are you still a student?
