What are MSP & StudyInsured™?
BC Medical Services Plan (MSP)
MSP is the mandatory public health insurance provided by Health Insurance BC for students with a valid study permit.
All 10-month students must provide their study permit to the International in the beginning of school year.
Always present your MSP card when you visit a clinic or hospital.
StudyInsured™
StudyInsured™ is company that provides our students with private medical insurance. The plan is called the Comprehensive+ Plan.
For students who are awaiting MSP, or who will not be eligible for MSP, the Comprehensive+ Plan will be the only insurance to use.
The 10-month students will use MSP to cover their general medical expenses, and use StudyInsured™ for the eligible medical expenses not covered by the province.
If you do not have MSP and go to a clinic or hospital, please keep the medical notes, ER reports, receipts, and other supporting documents and submit your claim at www.studyinsured.com/kootenayinternational or submit via email to studentclaims@studyinsured.com. You can get help with submitting your claim information from the StudyInsured Assistance 24/7 at 1.866.883.9787
