Group accident and sickness insurance coverages of spouses, dependent children or other persons
C. At the insurer’s option and subject to the policyholder’s election, the coverage for children of the insured group member may be extended beyond the ages established in subsection A. Any such extension of coverage shall be as mutually agreed upon by the insurer and the group policyholder.
D. Notwithstanding the provisions of § 38.2-3538, one certificate may be issued for each insured group member if a statement concerning any spouse’s, dependent child’s, or other person’s coverage is included in the certificate.
E. When a policy provides coverage for a dependent child who is enrolled based upon the child’s status as a full-time student and such child is unable due to a medical condition to continue as a full-time student, coverage under the policy for such child nevertheless shall continue in force provided the child’s treating physician certifies to the insurer at the time the child withdraws as a full-time student that the child’s absence is medically necessary. Coverage for such child shall continue in force until the earlier of (i) the date that is 12 months from the date the child ceases to be a full-time student or (ii) the date the child no longer qualifies as a dependent child under the terms of the group policy. A child’s status as a full-time student shall be determined in accordance with the criteria specified by the institution in which the child is enrolled.
