Plan Enrollment Family CoverageTravel Assistance FAQ

You are automatically enrolled in a student supplemental group insurance plan through your student association. For less than $7/month you can benefit from an advantageous coverage, in addition to a host of discounts and preferential rates from our Discount Network discount partners. 

However, if you do not wish to take advantage of these benefits, you may opt-out of the plan during the coverage amendment and withdrawal period. You may already be covered by another insurance plan, so it is important that you confirm your coverages, compare them, and consider the option to combine benefits before your withdrawal. For more information on the coordination of benefits, please refer to the Claims 101 section.

AGECU provides you with extended health insurance, dental, as well as accident and travel insurance.

Steps to submit a claim

 


Drug Claims

Since Plan Major is the second payer for your drug coverage, you must first submit your claims to either RAMQ or another private insurer.

If you were covered by private insurance and have lost that coverage, you must register with RAMQ before sending us your claims.


Accident and Travel Claims

To file a claim for accident and travel insurance, we invite you to contact AIG Insurance Company of Canada (AIG) directly. Please note that there are two separate telephone numbers to reach them, depending on whether you are making an accident or travel claim.

  • Accident

    For accident claims, you must contact AIG at 1 877 317-8060. Please note that accident coverage always applies second when you already have health coverage. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’ll be happy to refer you and help you through the process. Please ensure that your name, your student ID Number, and your policy/group number are included in all your correspondence with AIG.

  • Travel

    For travel claims, please contact AIG directly at 1 877 207-5018. Please ensure that your name, your student ID Number, and your policy/group number are included in all your correspondence with AIG.


Previous Year’s Claims

You may submit your claims within 365 days of the date the service was received. For example: If you consulted a health specialist on October 13, 2023, you have until October 13, 2024 to submit a claim for this service.

Refer to the coverage in effect at the time the service was obtained to determine the eligible claim amount.


Coordination of Benefits

Since you may be already covered by another insurance plan, your association offers you a supplemental insurance plan that allows the coordination of benefits for which you are eligible. Coordination of benefits allows you to combine the benefits and services from your student plan with those received from your parents’, your spouse’s, or your employer’s plan. It is important to confirm the existence of other coverages and to compare them. Claims for reimbursement can be made to multiple plans, however, the total sums received under all claims may not exceed 100% of the costs incurred. For this reason, it is important to determine the order in which claims should be submitted to your various group plans to coordinate benefits.

The order in which claims are submitted to multiple group plans is determined by your coverage type.

  • Policyholder: your employers’ or student association’s plan.
  • Dependent and Spouse: your parents’ or your spouse’s employers’ plan.
  • Coordination with Your Employer’s Plan

    The procedure to coordinate your student association’s plan with your employer’s plan is as follows:

    1. Submit your health or dental claim to your employer’s plan’s insurance company, making sure to keep a copy of the receipts if submitted by mail.
    2. Once the claim is processed, you will receive a “Statement of Benefits” from your employer’s insurance company.
    3. Submit your claim to Major Plan along with a copy of your health care or dental receipts, the appropriate form, and the “Statement of Benefits.”
    4. Major Plan will send you the eligible amount, and the second “Statement of Benefits” will be available for download from the web portal.

  • Coordination with Your Parents’ or Spouse’s Plan

    The procedure to coordinate your student association’s plan with your parents’ or spouse’s plan is as follows:

    1. Submit your health or dental claim to Major Plan, making sure to keep a copy of the receipts if submitted by mail.
    2. Once the claim is processed, download the “Statement of Benefits” from the Major Plan web portal.
    3. Submit your claim to your parents’ or spouse’s plan’s insurance company along with a copy of your health care or dental receipts, the appropriate form, and the “Statement of Benefits.”
    4. Your parents’ or spouse’s insurance company will send you the eligible amount along with a second “Statement of Benefits.”

  • Coordination with Two (2) Student Supplemental Plans

    You may be studying in two (2) educational institutions and benefit from a supplemental insurance plan for both. If this is the case, the procedure to coordinate both of your student association’s plans may vary according to your student status (full-time or part-time). Full-time or part-time student status is established by your educational institution.

     

    If you have FULL-TIME student status with one of your educational institutions, and PART-TIME status with the other:

    1. Submit your health or dental claim to the plan insurance company for the educational institution in which you have FULL-TIME student status, making sure to keep a copy of the receipts if submitting by mail.
    2. Once the claim is processed, you will receive a “Statement of Benefits” from this educational institution’s insurance company.
    3. Submit your claim to the plan insurance company for the educational institution in which you have PART-TIME student status along with a copy of your health care or dental receipts, the appropriate form, and the “Statement of Benefits.”
    4. The above educational institution’s insurance company will send you the eligible amount along with a second “Statement of Benefits.

     

    If you have the same student status in all your educational institutions FULL-TIME/FULL-TIME or PART-TIME/PART-TIME:

     

    When your student status is the same in both of your educational institutions, the order of precedence for the 1st payer is determined according to the coverage start date of the oldest plan.

    1. Submit your health or dental claim to the insurance company for the educational institution whose plan’s coverage start date is the oldest, making sure to keep a copy of the receipts if submitting by mail.
    2. Once the claim is processed, you will receive a “Statement of Benefits” from the educational institution’s plan insurance company.
    3. Submit your claim to your second plan’s insurance company along with a copy of your health care or dental receipts, the appropriate form, and the “Statement of Benefits.”
    4. The above insurance company will send you the eligible amount along with a second “Statement of Benefits.”

     

    If the precedence of the first payer cannot be established, your claim will be subject to a proration of the benefits, meaning that the benefits paid by the insurance plans are calculated according to the amount that would be paid by each plan if it was 1st payer. For more information, contact customer service.

     

    EXAMPLE: Eligible dental costs $70
    Plan A (Co-insurance 70%): Liability as 1st payer $49
    Plan B (Co-insurance 60%): Liability as 1st payer $42

    By adding the sums that would be paid by both plans as 1st payer, we get: $48 + $42 = $91 But the total sums received under both plans may not exceed the eligible costs of $70.

    Plan A (proration: $49 divided by $91 = 53.85%): Benefit paid $37.70

    Plan B (proration $42 divided by $91 = 46.15%): Benefit paid $32.30

  • Take Careful Note

    Since you may be covered by more than one insurance plan, it is important that you inform your other insurance carrier. The total sums received under all your plans for a given item, service received, or care claimed may not exceed 100% of the eligible costs. In some cases, the total sums received under all your plans may be lower than the costs incurred for a given item, service received, or care claimed.

    Failure to provide all the information required for the proper assessment of your file, whether intentional or not, may result in the termination of your coverage plan.
