For students who have studied in France for more than 12 months, medical insurance can be divided into two categories, one is basic and compulsory, and the other is supplementary and can be purchased selectively. Let's talk about how to use medical insurance for studying abroad in France.

Let me introduce the basic medical insurance to you first:

1. French basic medical insurance (Alberta medical insurance) is free!

2. The basic medical insurance in France is not automatically effective, and students need to go to the designated place within 90 days after entering the country! If the students hear that they want to do medical insurance or something after they arrive, that's what they mean Upon arrival, students can go to the International Student Service Center of Telus Center to get the application form, and ask about the processing place and required materials.

3. After the processing is completed, students will receive a piece of paper as shown in the figure below within one to two weeks. Health care is good at ordinary times, and it will come in handy when you see a doctor:

4. Students can choose whether to apply for ID according to their own situation. The advantage of ID card is that when you fly in Canada, you can show your ID card directly, and you don't need to bring your passport. However, it costs more than 50 yuan to apply for an ID, so it is worthwhile for students to decide according to their personal situation.

5. The basic medical insurance mainly includes three categories: the cost of seeing a doctor when sick, the cost of going to a hospital when sick, and the cost of basic examination (such as blood test). It is said that the hospital provides three meals after hospitalization, even saving money for meals. . .

6. The basic medical insurance does not include: prescription drugs, vision-related care (vision test, glasses, etc. ) and oral care.

Next, students may ask, we heard from the admissions teacher that after coming here, tooth cleaning and glasses can be reimbursed. Why did you say that these were not covered by medical insurance?

Don't worry, class. There will be reimbursement. At this time, our students' supplementary medical insurance appeared:

1. The supplementary medical insurance that students in university of alberta can use is called "Ihaveaplan".

2. This supplementary medical insurance does not require additional application, and every student is automatically included in it, and the expenses will be automatically included in the tuition. If some students have already enjoyed other supplementary medical insurance services, they can apply to the university for not needing this supplementary medical insurance and get a refund (the student consultant teacher of the International Department advises students to keep this insurance in case of emergency).

3. The medical insurance can reimburse some travel health insurance, prescription drugs, oral care, vision care, ambulance, massage and physical therapy.

Unlike basic medical insurance, it is presented before seeing a doctor. For some places, I have a plan to reimburse them with invoices after payment is completed.

First, briefly introduce two kinds of medical insurance, and then briefly explain the local way of seeing a doctor.

First of all, I want to remind you that clinics and hospitals are two different things!

If your classmates have any minor problems, you can consider going to the pharmacy to buy medicine or going to the clinic yourself. It's best not to persist just because you have the strength to survive. For example, the second basement of a university is a university clinic, which is only open to students and faculty in university of alberta. At this time, it is best not to go to the emergency room of the hospital, because the hospital queues up according to the patient's emergency. If you make a small incision or something, the wound may scar and you can't leave the hospital.

If the condition is serious and life-threatening (for example, unable to breathe, bleeding, etc.). ), please go directly to the hospital emergency room for treatment. The equipment and medical conditions of clinics are usually not as perfect as those of hospitals. In case of emergency, please call 9 1 1 immediately.

Finally, there are three things to remind students:

1. Students with past medical history can translate the medical records and bring them out.

2. Students who need to take prescription drugs should ensure that they have enough doses.

Students who usually wear glasses had better prepare a pair of spare glasses or contact lenses for themselves in case of emergency.
