Opt Outs

If you are already covered under another Plan (not including basic provincial health care or UHIP), you may opt out of the AMS Health and/or Dental Plans and have the fee removed from your fee assessment.

You can only opt out of the Health Plan upon showing proof of other equivalent health coverage. Similarly, you can only opt out of the Dental Plan with other equivalent dental coverage. You can opt out completely from the Health and Dental Plan upon showing proof of other equivalent health and dental coverage.

You can only opt out in person during the Opt-out Period from Sept. 1 - 25, 2009. No extentions will be granted beyond September 25.

If you opt out, you will be automatically re-enrolled in the Plan the following year. If you wish to opt out again, you will need to renew your opt out, but you will not be required to re-submit proof of equivalent coverage.

If you lose your equivalent coverage after opting out of the AMS Health and/or Dental Plan, you may re-enrol in the Plan within 30 days of losing your other coverage. You will have to provide proof of the loss of coverage.

NOTE: Students who opt out absolve the AMS, the insurance company(s), Queen’s University, studentcare.net/works, and any other involved party of all liability whatsoever for any loss suffered by the student. Students (or their parents in the case of minors) are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the contents of this website before they opt out.
