When visiting any health care provider, you should always bring:
1. Your UHIP coverage card in paper form.
2. Photo ID.
3. A UHIP claim form if you are visiting a provider that is not in the Preferred Provider Network.
Sun Life needs the following information to process a bill. If it’s not on the bill or receipt, you will not receive a reimbursement.
- Doctor’s bill- the OHIP code, diagnosis or reason for visit and the fee
- Lab & Diagnostic bill- the OHIP code and fee (MRIs and CAT scans don’t have OHIP codes).
- Hospital bill- the diagnosis or reason for visit and the fee. Admissions that are greater than 5 days may need medical records.
It’s very important to go to a Preferred Provider Network lab or diagnostic centre.
Sun Life must receive all claims within 12 months of you getting the medical service. We won’t pay claims received after 12 months.
You should always keep a photocopy of your claim form and all receipts when you send the originals.

You and the health care provider can always contact Sun Life at 1-866-500-8447 to confirm what expenses are covered if you’re not sure.
