Enrolment / Opting Out of iMED
Having coverage on a different private health insurance plan or a government health plan from your home country does not make you eligible to Opt Out of iMED.
The following students are eligible to Opt Out of the iMED program through David Cummings Insurance Services (DCIS):
- Students who have coverage on a Canadian Provincial or Territorial health plan that commenced on or before the start date of their iMED plan.
- Students who are already covered on the iMED plan.
- Students who have not enrol dependents onto their iMED plan.
To Opt Out for one of these two reasons print the DCIS iMED Opt Out
Form, complete it, and fax or mail it with the required supporting
documents to DCIS at fax number: 604-228-9807.
Opt Out can also be done with our Online
iMED Optout page. (Beta Status)

Students who have mandatory health insurance provided for them by a UBC recognized sponsor may Opt Out directly through the UBC iMED coordinator. Print the UBC iMED Opt Out Form, complete it, and send it to the UBC iMED coordinator at the contact information listed on the form.
