Overview
This bill ensures that health insurance coverage for dependent children with disabilities continues even after they turn 26 years old. It requires health insurers and group health plans to maintain coverage for adult children who are incapable of self-sustaining employment due to a physical or intellectual disability and are primarily supported by their parents. The bill also mandates that if a new insurance plan replaces a previous one, it must offer dependent coverage to children previously covered under the older plan. This aims to protect vulnerable individuals’ access to healthcare.
