Once an International Student's or International Visiting Scholar’s status as a University of Michigan F-1 or J-1 visa holder ends, the International Student or International Visiting Scholar may be eligible to continue coverage in this Plan for a period not to exceed a maximum of three months. The maximum length of the continuation shall be determined by the date your coverage ends under the F-1 or J-1 status with the University (as reported to BCN), and must be purchased in one-, two-, or three- month intervals. The continuation plan may only be purchased once in a Policy Year (September 1 – August 31) and cannot be extended or extend beyond the end of a Policy Year (August 31). To be eligible for continuation, you must have been enrolled under the University of Michigan International Student/Scholar Health Plan prior to the start of the continuation. International Students or International Visiting Scholars may also cover eligible dependents under this provision. Coverage for dependents shall be for the same period as the student, and the dependents must have been covered under the Plan prior to the continuation start date. Enrollment in the Continuation Coverage must be completed by the end of the month in which your eligibility under this provision begins.
