Student Health Care Plan

TKUSA works with We Speak Student to offer an affordable health insurance plan to all our full-time students.

Like most Universities, all full-time students are automatically enrolled each fall and your plan runs from September 1 – August 30 each academic year.

How Do I Access My Health Plan?

There are two ways to access the plan:

  1. For direct billing, use the following info at your healthcare provider if they accept ClaimSecure:

                   Provider: ClaimSecure

                   Group Number: 514055

                   Your Certificate Number: 00_ _ _ _ _ _ KU (00 your 6-digit student id followed by KU)

  1. If your Healthcare provider does not accept ClaimSecure, you will have to make a claim, view the video for claim actions and download the app to make claims easily throughout the course of your plan.

How Do I Submit A Plan?

Already have health insurance through work or a family member?

If you currently have alternative coverage, you may opt-out BEFORE September 30th each year and a refund will be issued by November. You must opt out each year.

To opt-out, you must provide proof of alternative insurance (besides Alberta Health Care) Opt Out online via the WeSpeak website by clicking the opt out tab and completing the application.
