Full-time registered post-secondary students are automatically covered under the FSU Health & Dental Plan for prescription drugs, dental benefits and accident benefits. If you have similar coverage through another party you may choose to opt-out of the Health & Dental Plan. The opt-out period for January 2012 intake students ends at 4 PM on January 16th. Opt-out cheques/direct deposit payments will likely be available near the end of February or early March. Notices will be posted on this website, Twitter, Facebook and on poster boards and video screens around campus when payments are in.
Benefits of this plan include:
Full academic year coverage (September 2011 to August 31st, 2012)
Student card may be used as a pay-direct drug card (accepted at most pharmacy’s across Canada)
Opt-in provision for dependent coverage (within first 10 days of classes)
If you pay for prescription medication while you are covered without using your student card, you can get reimbursed by filling out a form that is available in room SC2001 in the Student Centre.
