Assicurazione medica
La legge nella Columbia Britannica richiede il piano di copertura MSP. Il Piano dei servizi medici della Columbia Britannica (MSP) copre tutti gli studenti internazionali alla fine di un periodo di attesa di tre mesi: i giorni restanti del mese in cui lo studente è arrivato nella Columbia Britannica, più due mesi. Per fare domanda di copertura lo studente internazionale deve fornire al distretto scolastico il suo passaporto e un permesso di studio corrente che indica la data di arrivo in Canada.
Health Insurance B.C. will cover all international students after the end of a three month waiting period. Health Insurance B.C. coverage is required by law in B.C. for all B.C. residents. To apply for this coverage, the international student must apply at this office with a passport and the current Study Permit upon arrival in the school district. At the end of the waiting period, Health Insurance B.C. will mail a Care Card to the student. Once the student has a Care Card number, he or she will receive medical services in the same manner as all British Columbians. Each Care Card has an expiry date. To renew the Care Card, students must provide the International Education office with a copy of the renewed study permit. This must be done every year while the international student remains in BC.
During the three-month waiting period for MSP coverage, the school district purchases private medical coverage on behalf of all of the international students. Effective December 15, 2006, we will be covered by:
Each International student is given a Campus Care pamphlet by the International Education Program staff. In case of illness or injury, the international student may visit any doctor or clinic. The following local clinics will provide service and directly invoice Campus Care: Carepoint Medical Centre, Burquitlam Plaza and Carepoint Medical Centre in Coquitlam Centre. For medical attention at clinics other than Carepoint and for hospitals you please read the directions in the policy or contact Claims Assistance at 1-866-595-7172 or (905)-315-3255.
