Each year, you are given one opportunity to purchase family coverage for your spouse and/or dependent(s) by completing an application form at the BCITSA Health & Dental Plan Office and paying the family coverage fee. All family add-on forms and applicable fees must be received no later than 30 days after the start of your program. Your family can only be covered while you are a student on the plan(s).
Please note: Your optional family add-on is not automatically renewed. In order for your family add-on to continue, you must purchase the coverage each benefit year before the applicable deadline.
FAMILY ADD-ON FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
Spouse means the person who is a resident of Canada, and who is married to the student, or a person of either sex who has continuously co-habitated with the student for a period of at least one year and who is publicly represented as the student's wife or husband.
Dependent means an unmarried child who is a resident of Canada, and entirely dependent on the student for maintenance and support, and who is:
1) under 21 years of age,
2) under 25 years of age and attending a college or university full-time, or
3) physically or mentally incapable of self-support and became incapable to that extent while entirely dependent on the student for maintenance and support and while eligible under 1) or 2) above.
