  • If in the province to which the student moves, there is no doctor or centre that collaborates with the School Insurance, so that they can only go to a doctor or centre that does not collaborate, the student will be paid the totality of the expenses originated by the accident.
  • In cases of duly justified emergency care in which the student has gone to private, non-State centres, either because the student is unable to select the medical centre or because of the distance to the State centre, the student is paid for all expenses incurred.
