You must complete the opt-out application and provide proof of your active MSI card.
If your MSI card expires throughout the year, please obtain a new card ASAP. You will be opted-out again once we receive a copy of your new card. You must opt-out within 30 days of receiving your MSI card.
There are no MSI opt-outs after May. If a you become eligible for MSI after May, you will remain on the International Medical Plan with access to their medical benefits (including drug coverage) until the Fall opt-out period. From June onward, the opt-out refund is less than the Health charge.
International students opting out of the International Medical Plan with an MSI card will be switched to the Domestic Health Plan, at a lower rate, which supplements the basic medical care provided by the MSI card and includes things such as prescription drugs, ambulance trips and vision care. Students will also benefit from a Companion Plan which provides emergency health insurance within the rest of Canada.
If you also hold alternative Dental coverage and wish to opt-out of the Dental plan as well, you can visit the Dental Opt-Out page.
Please Note: For any students who do not have a Canadian address, you may choose to indicate the following (for the purpose of completing this form only): 15 University Avenue Wolfville, Nova Scotia, B4P 2R6
PLEASE NOTE: You must use your new Colleague ID number to opt-out. If you're unsure of your Colleague ID number, you can log in here to find it under your name at the top of the page.
