I'm sure there are exceptions and qualifications, but the answer generally is until the child is 24 years of age, regardless of whether or not the child is a student or dependent: IC 27-8-5-28
Coverage of child to 24 years of age
Sec. 28. A policy of accident and sickness insurance may not be issued, delivered, amended, or renewed unless the policy provides for coverage of a child of the policyholder or certificate holder, upon request of the policyholder or certificate holder, until the date that the child becomes twenty-four (24) years of age.
As added by P.L.218-2007, SEC.48.
Indiana has CHIP - Children's Health Insurance Program, which is available to children without other health insurance coverage. Medicaid, Hoosier Healthwise and Children Special Health Care Services are other programs available for children's health insurance in Indiana.
The Affordable Health Care Act of 2010 allows parents to keep their children on their health insurance until they are 26. This applies if they are not covered under any other health insurance.
Most health insurance companies will cover children until they are 21 years old, or until they move out of their parents home at 25, if they are still in school. This varies from company to company.
If you were to search under "Indiana Health Insurance" you could undoubtably find several health care providers for the state of Indiana. I am sure Blue Shield or Blue Cross, as well as Kaiser operate in the state of Indiana. Both of these health care providers would be able to give you more information on what your options are in Indiana.
some insurance carriers are allowing children up to the age of 23 years old and full time student. but better yet, call your parents insurance carrier.
All of them.... see link
The main difference between children's and adults health insurance is that children may be eligible for low- or no-cost insurance through Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program.
There is no law directing parents to provide health insurance for their children. It is the law that a child of legal driving age have auto insurance if he is going to be driving his own or his parent's car.
That depends on a number of factors, such as the jobs/income of each parent, the health insurance plan either or both parent has, any relevant laws of your state, etc. Sometimes both parents are required to maintain health insurance on the children, especially if they both already have health insurance plans with their jobs.
Indiana has several different health insurance options to suit many different needs. There are family and individual, dental, group, student, short-term, and medicare plan options available.
These companies provide health insurance for children: Blue Cross Blue Shield, Time Insurance, Celtic Insurance Company, Coventry Health Care of Louisiana, Golden Rule Insurance, and Humana.
The CHIP in CHIP Health Insurance is an acronym representative of Children's Health Insurance Program. It is a government sponsored program that covers children whose families do not meet the requirements for Medicaid but cannot afford to purchase standard health insurance.
