Costs for emergency services are at an all-time high and show no sign of reprieve. Students studying abroad and on fixed incomes are especially susceptible to medical expenses, and the last thing they want to spend these fixed monies on is an unforeseen accident, or emergency medical occurrence while studying in Canada.
Considering these points, the SPSA has worked to design and implement a reasonably priced emergency medical insurance plan for a temporary coverage period while student application for their Saskatchewan Health Authority Provincial plan is processed. This plan will assist students in dealing with unforeseen medical expenses that can arise because of emergency medical care, accident, or illness and provide support while maintaining their educational goals.
With a mandatory plan, the insurance risk is spread over a larger number of students, thereby lowering the cost per student, making the fee in a range that is affordable to students. An individual international emergency health insurance plan can cost as much as 5 times the current student fee.
No, although it is similar. Your international student medical insurance plan provides similar coverage to residents with provincial health care in that your emergency plan covers emergency medical care, injury, or accidents that are unforeseen while studying and residing in the province. Provincial health care in the Province of Saskatchewan provides coverage for doctor-insured services under the province in the event of an emergency medical occurrence or physician visits.
The fees for the international student medical insurance plan will be assessed automatically by the institution at registration and is mandatory for a 30-day term while international students apply for Saskatchewan Provincial Health. This is mandatory for new students. Students may submit an opt-out for this plan by submitting an online Opt Out Form with proof of provincial health. Repatriation insurance is a mandatory coverage provided by SPSA.
The International Student Medical Plan is only extended to students registered with Saskatchewan Polytechnic. No dependent coverage is included. It is required that when you apply with the Saskatchewan Health Authority you include your dependents who are 18 years of age and under.
