Adding Coverage For Eligible Dependents
COVERAGE MANAGEMENT
STUDENTS
Have you gotten married?
Have you had a baby?
Has your spouse arrived from your home country to live with you here in Manitoba?
If your eligible dependents, Spouse or Child(ren), now live with you, or if you have gotten married and your Spouse now lives with you, you must apply for family coverage under the Plan within 31 days of this change in order to convert from single coverage to family.
- Contact your school for a Manitoba International Students Health Insurance Application form and the cost of changing to family coverage
- You must complete a Manitoba International Students Health Insurance Application form (contact your school)
- When completing your application form, be sure to:
- If you are adding a common law Spouse, who you did not declare when you initially applied for insurance and now lives with you, there will be a one-year waiting period from the date of notification, before your common law spouse is eligible for coverage.
- Cheques or money orders should be made payable to “Great-West Life Assurance Company”, for the full amount.
(Great-West Life does not accept cash or credit card payments.)
- Some schools require that cheques or money orders be made payable to the school. You should confirm this with your school.
- Return your completed application form and payment to your school
- You have up to 31 days, from the date of the change, to apply for family coverage. Late applications will not be accepted.
Once your application has been processed a new MISHIP Identification Card will be sent to your school.
Note
At the time you initially enrolled in the Plan, if you had eligible dependents, you should have applied for family coverage. If you failed to do so, you may not apply for family coverage at a later time.
