Bill overview
This bill, the Ensuring Child Health Coverage Compensation in Divorce Act of 2026, aims to improve healthcare access for children in divorce or separation cases. It requires group health plans, health insurance issuers, and the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program to cooperate with custodial parents regarding medical coverage for children ordered through child support. Specifically, the bill mandates that these entities provide necessary information, allow claims to be submitted without the noncustodial parent’s approval, and make payments directly to the custodial parent or provider.
