AMS HEALTH & DENTAL PLAN
Welcome to your plan!
To help students pay for the health services they need, a collective health and dental plan has been put in place by the Alma Mater Society (AMS), your student association. This group Plan is unique in that it helps fill the gaps in provincial health care, while offering coverage that is competitively priced. The coverage includes: Health, Dental, Vision, and Travel benefits (up to 120 days per trip).
Since its inception, the Plan has 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 automatically covered by the AMS Health & Dental Plan.
To see if you have been assessed the fee for the AMS Health and Dental plans, check out your ‘Printable Fee Statement’ on SOLUS. Instructions on how to find your ‘Printable Fee Statement’ can be found at www.queensu.ca/registrar/solus/finances.
