Summary of AMS/GSS Health &
Dental Insurance Plan
provided by
Last updated January 2016
What is covered
• up to a maximum of $5,000,000 per person per
incident
• hospital, physician, and other services for emergency
treatment of an injury or illness while traveling
outside of the province you reside in
• reasonable and customary charges in excess of the
provincial health-care allowance. The reasonable and
customary clause ensures that you are evacuated to
the nearest medical center that can treat the specific
emergency. When deemed necessary, emergency
medical evacuation to Canada is eligible as well
• up to $150 per calendar year for vaccinations
• emergency evacuation (context-specific)
• repatriation (reimbursed at 100%, up to an
overall maximum of $5,000 per person per
lifetime)
What is covered
Pacific BlueCross strongly recommends that you
contact the emergency travel insurance contact
number before incurring medical expenses. This
way they can arrange for direct payment of eligible
expenses when applicable. The plan is designed to
eliminate out-of-pocket expenses as much as possible.
Within Canada and US (toll-free): 1 888 699 9333
Outside Canada and US: 604 419 4487
(see “Travel Health Passport” at
http://www.ihaveaplan.ca/rte/en/UniversityofBritishColumbiaAMSG

Students travelling for
university activities
• You are covered for up to 120 days per trip
(four months), for an unlimited number of trips
taken during the coverage period.
• If you are leaving on a recognized academic
exchange or are participating in an internship
as part of your studies, you can benefit from
travel health coverage for the duration of the
exchange or internship.
• As long as you are travelling for academic
purposes that are recognized by the university,
you are eligible to extend your travel insurance
to include the duration of your studies, plus 120
days before and 120 days after the official
dates.
– This would include graduate students travelling for
research purposes (as long as they can provide
documentation from UBC indicating that this is a
recognized academic trip).
• The plan includes travel health coverage for the
first 120 days of your trip and for 120 days after
the end of your exchange or internship.
• To receive coverage, you must remain members
of your student society, pay fees to the
University, and keep your provincial health-care
coverage.
– You must notify studentcare.net/works before leaving
on an exchange.
What the AMS/GSS plan
will not cover
• Travel health coverage does not apply to
international students traveling to their home
country under any circumstances. This coverage
depends on your residency status in the home
country. If you also have a passport and permanent
residency in your home country, any expenses
incurred while travelling there are not eligible under
the student plan.
• You and your dependents are not covered for out-of-
province or out-of-country emergency services once
you reach age 65
• If you are not participating on an academic
exchange or internship, you are not able to extend
your travel insurance past the standard 120 days.
In this case, Pacific BlueCross suggests that you
look into purchasing a separate travel insurance
policy for the period of travel which exceeds the
120 days.
• If Global Affairs Canada issues a Travel Advisory,
the travel insurance is automatically void.
Therefore, if you are travelling to regions which
have been rated as "AVOID NON-ESSENTIAL
TRAVEL," or “AVOID ALL TRAVEL" you would need
to look into purchasing a separate travel policy
which meets these specific needs.
Visit www.ihaveaplan.ca for more information, or go
to www.pac.bluecross.ca in order to access your
claim information.
