1. Valid Provincial Health Card for all Canadian students
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 Mount Allison Wellness 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.
2. Mount Allison University Health Insurance Plan for International Students
Health insurance for International Students at Mount Allison University is mandatory. The health insurance is provided by the company Campus Trust which international students will pay for as part of their university fees in September. Some international students may be able to opt-out of purchasing Campus Trust health insurance if they can provide proof of alternate coverage that meets minimum requirements specified by Mount Allison University in the Student Administrative Council office found on the second floor of the Wallace McCain Student Centre. Questions about the health insurance plan for international students should be directed to sachealth@mta.ca
