Health and Dental
NWPSA strives to provide a great extended insurance plan to it's students. We work hard to help our students with submitting claims, opting out, or adding dependents. Email sa@gprc.ab.ca with questions or for support with the Health and Dental Plans.
Who is eligible for the H&D plan?
Uh... Students. I'm pretty sure.
Fantastic. I chipped a tooth this week.
That sounds stressful.
I feel that.
Well! When I see you next week I will have a brand new smile!
Totally. But knowing that I have coverage for it makes it a lot easier. I have a hard enough time with the dentist. I don't need to be stressed out about $$$ too.
