What does student health insurance usually cover?
Coverage depends on the specific plan, but health insurance can help with medical expenses such as doctor visits, hospital services, prescription medications or other eligible healthcare services.
However, you don’t assume that everything is covered.
Provincial health plans generally focus on medically necessary healthcare. Services such as prescription drugs, dental care and vision care may require additional coverage depending on your situation.
For example, Alberta specifically notes that its basic provincial coverage does not cover dental treatment or prescription drugs.
