Students

Students who normally reside in New Brunswick and are in full-time attendance at a recognized university or other institution outside New Brunswick, or Canada, are covered for a 12-month period provided they:

• contact New Brunswick Medicare on an annual basis;
• do not establish permanent residence outside New Brunswick;
• do not receive health coverage in another province;
• each year, students studying outside Canada must provide New Brunswick Medicare with “proof of enrollment” from the school or university they are attending.

Students studying outside New Brunswick are advised to obtain supplementary insurance from private insurers to cover the portion of accounts not payable by Medicare.
