This is administered through the Student Union. The period covered is frdm l Sept.'76 to 31 August '77.Remember that you are covered through this plan during the vacat- ion periOd. Canadians, & those Foreign students with Landed Imm- igrant status, should have been charged $12.00. Those without Canadian Citizenship who do not have Landed Imm— igrant Status should have been charged $60.00. The great difference in rate comes from the fact that each Canadian province covers its citizens, with some small variations, with most medical expenses, except drugs, and with hospital insurance up to the ward rate, It follows that the coverage extended to those who do not enjoy these‘benefits from a Prov— ince but do get them from our plan is much more exten- sive and, therefore, must COSt more. The Zurich plan goes further than the Govern— mentlplans & will pay for semi—private care in Canadian Hospitals as well as most of the charges in a hospital out— side the country.If you were charged the lesser rate & sus- pect that you do not have cov- erage under a Provincial plan we would advise you to pay a ’visit to the Student Union Office and have your status cleared up.D0 NOT WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE A STAGGERING HOSP- ITAL BILL BEFORE CLEARING THIS MATTER UP....Ward rate in a Charlottetown hospital is now $72.50 per day... probably the LOWEST in Canada If, on the other hand, you were charged the higher rate and feel you are covered by the Government Medicare.... visit the Student Union Office and you may be pleased by receiving a rebate,- .If you are covered for this type of insurance by another company, you may receive a rebate by apply— ing at the Student Union Office with proof of coverh age.Please take note that this does not apply to other provincial plans.For non- Canadians, authorization for a rebate must be approved by La Foreign Student Faculty ’ Advisor. If you have any question about this insurance.... if you think you are en-' titled to a rebate... if you want to know what is covered... if you are un— certain about your status.. if you want to know about ‘ the procedure in making claims...visit the Student , Union Office with your quer- ies... BUT PLEASE, PLEASE DO SO BEFORE #) SEPTEMBER be cause the list of names & the premiums go to the In— surance Company on 1 Otto— ber& after that, it will be too late. If any students wish to take advantage of this low rate for their dependents, i.e.spouse and/or children they may do so by visiting the S.U. Office & paying a small additional fee...if you are already married this should be done before 30 September but, if the student gets married dur- ing the year the addi’ tional coverage is still available, with some re— strictions. Although we'll be having a radio program through CIMN on this, we'll wel— come your enquiries. We- think we probably should point out now that we send' in a list of stu- ' dents to the.Insurance Company, they distri. bute it to Charlotte- town drugstores as " quickly as possible, Afiter receipt,and there- after students may have perscriptions filled out WITHOUT ANY CHARGE at local drugstores merely by presenting their student card a- long with their pre- scription. If a student gets drugs from an out— of—town druggist the Student Union Office, in the basement of Memorial Hall, will be pleased to process the claim, upon presentation of the drug— store bill and a check will be sent within ten days or so.
