Health plan
Employees of Concordia university please click here to access Carrefour, the intranet. All the information for employees is now located on Carrefour, the intranet for faculty and staff.
The Concordia Health Plan helps you and your insured eligible dependents pay for certain health-related expenses, in case of personal illness or injury.
While the plan covers many services and procedures, including telemedicine through Lumino Health Virtual Care, there are some exclusions and limitations. Check your plan on Carrefour if you foresee any unusual expenses.
Inpatriates and non residents must be covered under a provincial health insurance plan or an inpatriate health plan such as the one offered by Sun Life, our benefit provider, to be eligible for the Concondia’s health plan.
Students: Undergraduate and graduate students can learn about the Concordia Student Health Plan through the "Student Care" website.
