Family Coverage

To be eligible for coverage, your dependent must be covered under a Provincial Health Insurance Plan or equivalent.  Your dependent becomes eligible for coverage when you become eligible or, if acquired later, upon becoming your dependent. You must have coverage in order for your dependants to be covered.

You must make written application at the Health & Dental Plan Office in order for your dependent(s) to be covered and you must pay the additional Family Coverage Fee to the University of Manitoba Students' Union.

Deadline to purchase Family Coverage for the Fall term is October 19, 2012.

For new students entering the University of Manitoba in the winter term the deadline to purchase Family Coverage is February 15, 2013.

Premium amounts are listed under Health & Dental Fees.

Dependent means a spouse or unmarried child from live birth but under 21 years of age (25 years, if regularly attending school) and solely dependent upon the member for support.

Child means a natural or legally adopted child, or a step-child or other child who is dependent upon the member for support and lives with the member in a regular parent-child relationship.
