Welcome to your Health and Dental plan provided by your AMS!
Some Students May Experience a Black-Out Period at the start of the Fall Term
Some students may experience a black-out period during September and October as the insurer finalizes the enrolment data. If this happens to you, please check your SOLUS account to make sure that you were assessed the AMS Health and Dental fee.
If you have been assessed the fee, please hold on to all of your receipts and use the StudentCare mobile app to file your claims at the end of October.
The AMS Health and Dental Plans are negotiated yearly for you by your AMS Executive, coordinated by the Vice President of Operations. The plan is provided from StudentCare and offers extremely competitive benefits for all undergraduate students who are members of the AMS and have been assessed the Health and Dental Student Activity Fees. The coverage includes Health, Dental, Vision, and Travel benefits. Your AMS Health plan also provides you Virtual Health Care, a telemedicine service that virtually connects you with nurses and physicians from anywhere in Canada.
In addition, alongside your Health and Dental Plans, the AMS provides access to Console: Mental Health Resources. Console is a program for ALL AMS membership fee paying members, even IF you choose to opt out of the AMS Health Plans. It provides access to counselling, self-directed therapy, 24/7 crisis support, and other wellness resources on mobile or the web.
Since its inception, the Health and Dental Plans have saved its members millions of dollars and has helped thousands of students. As a full-time undergraduate student or MBA student at Queen’s University and a member of the AMS, you’re covered by the AMS Health and Dental Plans – unless you choose to opt-out with proof of enrollment in a comparable benefit plan.
