入場
留学生用医療保険
申し込み後3 ヶ月後（カナダに到着した月とその後の2 ヶ月）から、Medical Services Plan of BC (MSP) 医療保険が有効となります。MSP は、ブリティッシュ・コロンビア州が加入を法律で規定した医療保険です。MSP は、パスポートとカナダ入国日を記載した学生ビザを持参して学校で申請してください。また、留学生はインターナショナル・エジュケーション･プログラムで渡されるMSP グループ申請書に署名してください。申請後3 ヶ月後に、ケアカードが留学生に送付されます。ケアカード番号を受け取ると、他のブリティッシュ・コロンビア州民と同様の医療サービスを受けることができます。ただし、学生ビザが切れ、インターナショナル・エジュケーション部に延長された学生ビザが提出されなかった場合は、医療保険は無効となります。留学生は、この手続きをブリティッシュ・コロンビア州滞在中は毎年行わなければなりません。
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.
