Your UWSA Health Plan Number:
Your Green Shield ID is your UWSA Health Plan number and it is self-generating. It’s based off your University of Winnipeg Student ID number (found on your U of W student ID card). Your UWSA Health Plan number starts with UWS then your student number and then 00. The format looks like this: UWS#######-00.
If you opted in a spouse/partner or any dependents their ID is based off your student ID, as well. The format looks like this: UWS#######-01 for a partner/spouse, UWS#######-02 for eldest dependent, UWS#######-03 for next eldest dependent etc.
If you’d like a card with your UWSA Health Plan ID number on it, you can stop by the UWSA General Office and apply for your ISIC card (available to all students, domestic and international) or stop by the UWSA Social Sustainability office (Health plan Office) to pick-up a temporary Green Shield ID card that you can fill out yourself.
