Applying for Health Insurance with dependants who are not PRs

[janniboy88]

Hello everyone,

I have a question about applying for health insurance. Is it true that if I apply for coverage my dependants will be covered too (compare "Coverage under the AHCIP is available to all eligible residents and their dependants." health.alberta.ca/AHCIP/Q-who-is-eligible.html ).

Thanks

AHCIP is the most liberal of provincial health cares when it comes to who is covered. They have been known to cover spouses and children in the process of being sponsored and I have heard of them still covering a TFW woman who got pregnant and changed status to visitor because she could not work any more.

You should phone them and ask about the specifics of your case. They are quite friendly. Their contact info is here: http://www.health.alberta.ca/AHCIP/contact-AHCIP.html
