What are the CIC International Medical Benefits?

Powered by the Columbia International College, you now have access to international medical coverage including emergency dental, vision, mental health, and travel coverage.

What do my Benefits look like if I'm not on campus?

Your Benefits work exactly the same, or better, even if you’re remote. No matter where you’re located across Canada, you have full access to Your International Medical Benefits. You can visit any registered clinic in the country, submit a claim, and even access Virtual Service through the Virtual Health Clinic. Find out more in the tabs below!

Your Benefits Card

First things first, you need your personalized Benefits Card to access your benefits!
Be sure to bring it with you when you visit the doctor, the dentist office, the optometrist, when you travel, or anywhere else you are covered. You can download your Benefits Card to your smartphone (Apple Wallet & Google Pay) for quick and easy access, or print a copy to put in your wallet.

How to Make a Claim

Some providers or clinics will have the option to direct-bill to your plan, meaning little to no out-of-pocket expenses! If a clinic can't direct-bill, you must pay for the service, then submit a claim for reimbursement. Find out how to submit a claim from anywhere below
