School-Specific Insurance Guidance

Every school plan is different. Here is how we help you navigate the specifics of your institution's coverage.

McMaster University

MSU & GSA Plans

We work with Studentcare/Securian Canada (via the Student Health Portal and pay‑direct network) to process your preventive and restorative dental care. Because these plans use pay-direct electronic billing, we can send claims directly to the insurer for checkups, cleanings, fillings, and root canals—helping you utilize your benefits with minimal paperwork.

Mohawk College

MSA Plan

We verify your Studentcare/Securian Canada coverage instantly to minimize upfront costs. The MSA plan features a pay-direct system that allows for immediate verification at our office, meaning the insurer pays their portion right away and you only cover the remaining balance, if any.

Redeemer University

Student Health Plan

Redeemer mandates health insurance for all students, but dental coverage is often more focused. We will perform an eligibility check on your specific health card to see if you have dental riders. If your plan is limited to emergency benefits, we can still provide routine care and give you a detailed "superbill" to submit to a private or parental insurance plan for reimbursement.

Columbia International College

Peak Benefits

The Peak Student Benefits plan is primarily an international health plan that strictly covers emergency care (such as accidental injury or acute pain relief) rather than routine cleanings or checkups. We can bill Peak directly for qualifying emergencies, but for routine maintenance, we provide full receipts for your personal records.

⚠ Routine cleanings and checkups are not covered under the Peak plan.
