Health Care Services are covered by the following:
- Valid
Provincial Health Card for all Canadian Students
- Mt
A University Health Insurance Plan for International Students
- Cash
or cheque for all students without the above coverage
A. Canadian Students studying at Mount Allison are covered by their provincial
health insurance, with the exception of the Province of Quebec (the government of Quebec is the only province which has not entered into a reciprocal billing agreement with physicians from other Canadian provinces - click here) while at Mount Allison. This means that if Quebec students need to access a physician while attending Mount Allison, whether it be a physician at the local hospital, community office or at the Mt. Allison Student Health Centre on campus, Quebec students will be requested to pay a physician fee before being seen by the physician and then the receipt can be sent to the province of Quebec health care for reimbursement. However, Mount Allison strongly
urges all students to consider acquiring health insurance above and beyond
basic medicare or public health care coverage for benefits such as prescriptions,
ambulance, vision care and other health practitioners expenses. Many students
already have access to private insurance as dependents under parental
plans. For those who do not have coverage and who would like their own,
or you are a Canadian Student Studying at Mount Allison who is leaving
Canada (for travel, study or work abroad), contact:
