FAQ
The following frequently asked questions are posted to help you better understand the Plan.
Couple & Family Enrolments
Can I enrol all of my family members?
Your Plan gives you the option to enrol your dependent children and/or your spouse. You can only cover one spouse at a time.
Can I opt out and enrol my family members?
No, you must remain covered by the Plan in order to enrol your eligible family members. Dependants’ coverage must be equal to or lesser than the Plan member’s coverage.
Out-of-Province Students
Can I access the Plan benefits if I move to Manitoba but keep my home provincial health care?
Yes, you can access your Plan benefits if you have access to any Canadian provincial health-care coverage.
Combining Plans & Coordinating Benefits
Can I coordinate benefits with another plan?
Yes, if you’re covered by another extended plan in addition to your student Plan (e.g. through a parent's or spouse's employer, or your own employer), you may coordinate the benefits in order to increase your overall coverage, up to 100%.
Opt Out
After your opt out is completed and shortly after the end of the Change-of-Coverage Period, the UM-GSA Health & Dental Plan fee will be credited to your student account.
