Is your child travelling to the US or abroad for school? Make sure they are protected with Emergency Hospital and Medical Insurance.

For Canadian Students Travelling out of the Country

Travel health insurance is critical because medical costs in other countries can be very high. Student health insurance provides coverage for both emergencies and non-emergencies while traveling. And it’s more comprehensive than regular travel insurance.

Health Insurance for Students Summary of Benefits

  • Coverage for COVID
  • Hospitalization fees for a semi-private room
  • Ambulance (Ground or Air Transportation)
  • Prescription drugs required to treat emergency situations
  • Professional fees for nurses, physicians and other health care professionals for emergency medical treatment
  • Services from licensed practitioners such as physiotherapist, chiropractor, chiropodist, acupuncturist, speech therapist and others
  • Eye exam
  • Emergency dental treatment
  • Wisdom tooth extraction
  • Psychiatric and psychological care
  • Prescription glasses, contact lenses and hearing aids
  • Tutorial services
  • Trauma counselling
  • Pre-existing conditions covered if stable in the 90 days prior to the start of coverage

And many more.

And if your child decides to travel while studying, they will continue to be insured (so long as they spend 51% of the time in the country of study).

For Canadian Students Going to School in a Different Province

Canadian students who travel to another province to study still have health coverage, but only at the rates paid by their home provinces government health insurance program (GHIP). If there’s a difference, it’s up to you to pay for it.
