This collection of frequently asked questions (FAQ) provides brief answers to many common questions about University of Ottawa Health Services.
We try to make as much information as possible available through our web site and hope we were able to answer your question.
If I get a family physician here do I have to give up my family physician back home?
No-the Ministry of Health will decide which physician you will be rostered with, however, you will be registered to a provider here on Campus who will follow you through your years at school. You may call and book appointments with this physician.
I’m an out-of-province student – do I have to pay for healthcare?
No-You have a provincial healthcard that covers your healthcare requirements. Please bring this card with you to your first appointment.
I’m an international student – do I have to pay for healthcare?
No-You are covered under the University Health Insurance Plan and should contact the SFUO for questions. Please bring this card or any paperwork you have received to clinic when you need to see a physician.
UOHS is a Family Health Team.
Learn more about our Family Health Team or about the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.
What if I don't want to register and just want to use the walk-in clinic?
No problem at all, however, there may be up to a 4 hour wait at times. It is recommended that students call and make appointments ahead of time with providers accepting students. (Please remember that we cannot provide wait times for Urgent Care).
Is dental care covered in my insurance?
Please contact SFUO for this and other insurance related questions (Physiotherapy may also be covered by student should contact SFUO as some students may have opted out of the insurance plan). University of Ottawa Health Services does not include dental care but there is a private dentist’s office at 100 Marie Curie.
