New Jersey A2550 requires health insurers to continue dependent coverage for children with disabilities who are 26 years or older.
New Jersey A2550 amends existing law to mandate that health insurers, including health, hospital, and medical service corporations, commercial group health insurers, health maintenance organizations, and health benefits plans, continue dependent coverage for adult children until they turn 26 years of age if the child has a physical or intellectual disability that prevents self-sustaining employment and is chiefly dependent on the subscriber for support and maintenance. The bill also outlines procedures for enrolling children in coverage and handling claims when parents are noncustodial.
