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 SARDP has worked to design and implement a reasonably priced emergency medical insurance plan for a temporary coverage period while student application for AHCIP (Alberta's Health Care Insurance 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 emergency 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 Alberta 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 emergency medical insurance plan will be assessed automatically by the institution at registration and is mandatory for a 90-day term while international students apply for AHCIP. There is no opt-out option for this plan for New Students. Returning and continuing students may be eligible to opt-out.
The International Student Medical Plan is only extended to students registered with Red Deer Polytechnic. No dependent coverage is included. It is recommended that when you apply for AHCIP you include your dependents.
If you have already paid for the International plan, the amount will be credited to your SARDP account. You can check this on your Tuition Fee Statement.
You will only pay fees in your first term each year. Due to limitations with SARDP's financial system, they are unable to charge student accounts a single semester. If you have opted out or you have already paid for the fees in your first term in this year, you will see the subsequent fees waived in your Tuition Fee Statement close to the start of the next term.
As students pay for the cost of the 12-month benefit plan in their first term each year, we are unable to provide refunds for students who drop classes after the Add/Drop deadline.
