Medical Insurance for Students

You receive medical coverage through Medavie Blue Cross. Insurance does not cover regular trips to the dentist. However, it may cover the cost of a visit if it results from an accident.


Insurance information can be found on the website: 

www.nsispinsurance.ca


  • Illnesses like cough, flu, and sore throat do not typically require a visit to the doctor. 
  • Your host family will help you decide if you need to see a doctor 
  • The next step is deciding on a walk-in clinic vs a hospital 
  • Walk-in clinics have shorter wait times and are better for non-emergencies. Please trust your host family; they will have your best interest at heart.
