Your plan from AGEHCUQTR

The Plan

You are automatically enrolled in a student supplemental group insurance plan through your student association. For less than $20/month you can benefit from inexpensive coverage and a host of discounts and preferential rates from our Rebate Network discount partners.

If, however, 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 that you consider the option to coordinate benefits before your withdrawal. For more information on the coordination of benefits, please refer to the Claims 101 section.

AGEHCUQTR provides you with extended health insurance, dental and eye care, as well as accident and travel insurance.

Plan Enrolment

The insurance premium is included on your tuition invoice. It is billed in two instalments: the first in the Fall session, the second in the Winter session. All academic fees for the current session must be paid before you can receive a reimbursement. Please note: if you maintain the plan in the fall, and are still attending school during the Winter session, you will be required to pay your plan premium, with no option for withdrawal.

If applicable, fees include premiums, administration fees, commissions, withholdings, and taxes that may apply to the plan.

Important Numbers

Here are some important numbers relative to your plan.

Coverage Amendment and Withdrawal Period

Any change to your plan, whether withdrawal, addition of dependents (children), or amendment to coverage options, must be made during the amendment period. This period is between August 15 and September 3 for students enrolled in the Fall session; for students newly-enrolled in the Winter session, this period takes place between January 1st and January 31. There is one (1) coverage amendment period per school year.

You may not opt out of the plan in the winter if you maintained it in the fall. In the event of a withdrawal, the educational institution will credit the amount of your plan membership after the end of the withdrawal period.

• Student enrolled in the Fall session

  Students enrolled in the Fall session who maintain their student status in the winter may not withdraw from the plan and must pay the related fees if they did not withdraw in the fall.

• New student enrolled in the Winter session

  Students newly-enrolled in the Winter session will have to select coverage again the following fall, whether they chose to maintain, amend or withdraw coverage in the winter. Except in the case of a permanent withdrawal.

Family Coverage

During the amendment period, you may extend plan coverage to your children, providing an affordable family plan.

To do so, please complete and forward the Family Coverage form, along with the annual fees for your dependents to student@majorplan.ca before the end of the amendment period.

International Students

International students are automatically enrolled in the supplementary dental component of the Major Plan. During the amendment period, you may add health coverage. To do so, you must forward the International Health Coverage form, along with the annual fees, directly to Plan Major during the plan’s amendment and withdrawal period.

International students may also opt out of the dental component during the plan amendment and withdrawal period. This can be done through your student association portal.

Coordination of Benefits

Since it is possible that you are 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 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 in order to coordinate benefits.

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

• Policy holder: 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 submitting 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 submitting 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 ou 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.

   

  EXEMPLE : 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 it is possible that you are covered by more than one insurance plan, it is important that you inform your insurance companies of this. 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.
