Resolving Access Challenges for Your RTIP Account
⚠️ Forgot Password
Cause: You cannot recall your current password for the My Member Account portal.
Solution: If you've forgotten your password, look for a "Forgot Password" link on the login screen. Follow the prompts to reset it using your registered email address. Once logged in, you can also change your password by clicking your name/account icon and navigating to Account settings.
⚠️ Account Locked Out
Cause: Repeated incorrect login attempts or system security measures have temporarily restricted access to your RTIP account.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. If your account is locked, try the "Forgot Password" option first. If that doesn't work, or if you're unable to register for My Member Account after a lock-out (especially for new accounts after August 25, 2025), contact OTIP Benefits Services directly at 1-866-783-6847 for immediate assistance.
⚠️ Denied Claim
Cause: Your submitted claim lacks necessary documentation or further information is required for approval.
Solution: Log into your portal, go to the "Your Claims" dropdown, and select "Claims History". Locate the specific denied claim, click the '+' button to expand its details, and select the "upload" option to add the required documents from your computer.
⚠️ Issues with RTIP Travel Coverage While Abroad
Cause: You require emergency assistance or need confirmation of coverage for medical services while traveling.
Solution: For 24-hour emergency assistance outside Canada and the U.S., contact OTIP Travel Assistance (CanAssistance) immediately at 519-742-3556 (you can call collect from a landline). For pre-trip inquiries or confirmation of coverage letters, reach out to OTIP Travel Assistance.
