Graduating from school

You’ve graduated. Here’s what you need to know

In most group health insurance plans, children are covered up to age 21 if they’re not in school, or up to age 25 if they’re enrolled in a post-secondary program. Once you graduate, it is important for you to purchase a personal health insurance plan to have the same coverage that you may have received under your parents’ group insurance plan. Find a plan for you and see how affordable our plans can be.

Now that I’ve graduated, I’m no longer covered under my parents’ plan. Will you cover me?

As a young person just out of school, you are surely on a budget. You may think that you don’t have many options when it comes to health insurance, but that is not the case. Blue Cross offers several affordable health insurance plans, from basic coverage to comprehensive coverage, at a price you can afford.

What kind of health insurance can I afford?

Depending on the coverage you need, Blue Cross offers health insurance plans starting at as little as $20.88/month*. Our basic plans can include coverage for dental visits, prescription drugs, physiotherapy, travel insurance and more.
