What type of family member is eligible to have iMED coverage?
An international student may purchase iMED coverage for his or her dependent family members according to the definition of Eligible dependents in the policy wording. You, the UBC international student enrolled on the iMED Plan, are called an Insured Person in the policy wording. An Eligible dependent is defined as: • The spouse* of an Insured Person (but excluding those legally separated), and under the age of 65. • Unmarried children, step-children, foster children and legally adopted children, who are dependent on the Insured Person for support, provided that such children are not less than 15 days old and not more than 18 years old at the date the Policy was purchased (or 24 years old provided it can be proved that the child is continuing in full-time education). * In the policy wording, ‘spouse’ is taken to mean a spouse by marriage or a common-law spouse or partner who lives with the student.
