Each school division maintains Universal Student Accident Insurance coverage, underwritten by Industrial Alliance, for all students attending a school within the division. The program provides basic accident and medical coverage while students attend school or participate in school-organized activities. It also extends to provide coverage to high school students enrolled in an approved course or class outside of school that qualifies for credit in Physical Education. This coverage does not extend to any other activities at times outside of school; i.e. not 24 hour coverage.
This program provides coverage for all full-time students registered in the participating School Divisions, while:
Aggregate Limit of Indemnity: $1,000,000 any one accident.
Note: Coverage is provided subject to the Terms and Conditions of master Policy number 100005613 on file with The Manitoba School Boards Association.
Under the Universal Student Accident Insurance, full-time equivalent students have coverage in the event of an accident. Please note, students must have Manitoba Health or provincial healthcare replacement coverage to be eligible under this plan. There is accident coverage under the scenarios in points 3 and 4 listed above in regards to travelling to and from an approved school activity.
The Universal Student Accident Insurance Program complements but does not replace the Voluntary Student Accident Insurance coverage purchased by parents/guardians.
It is recommended that all parents/guardians consider purchasing Voluntary Student Accident Insurance, which provides 24-hour coverage for all accidents at home, school, sports, organized activities or play for the entire year.
Enrolment and payment continues to be coordinated by HUB International. MSIP policy wordings are available upon request.
