Affective as of September 22, 2010, anyone who has to renew their condition assurance policy can look forward to a new selection when considering their children's condition care plan. With the new condition care reform has come the possibility for postponement of coverage to adolescents ages 16 and under.

After this date, children are now entitled to remain on the same condition assurance policy as their parents.

The new condition care reform bill means that children parents can stay under the same condition plan as their parent's until they are 26 years old- irrespective of their marital status, trainee status or home address. It also does not matter if the child (children) is named as a dependent on the mother's or father's tax return.

The only exemption is if a child under 26 is eligible for enrollment into a condition plan offered by their employment. The term "child or children", in this case, applies to natural children, stepchildren, adopted children and any other child that is dependent upon an adult while the adoption waiting period. Grandchildren are not eligible. As a result, grandparents who care for their grandchildren full-time are not eligible. Meanwhile, the law for any states that have a maximum dependent age that is above 26 will remain as it was.

1. anyone wanting to add dependents under the age of 26 years to their condition assurance policy is entitled to a one-off extra enrollment. Even adult children currently under the age of 26 who have been previously denied such coverage, can apply.

2. anyone who is currently covered by a particular person's condition assurance policy or a spouse/employee policy and wants to add their child, can do so. However, they must change their enrollment status to one that allows dependents to be added to the contract, for example as house policy or an employee/child coverage policy.

3. anyone who is not already enrolled in a condition assurance program, but wishes to do so now and take advantage of the new rules about dependents under 26, can participate. They must enroll within the extra enrollment duration and meet all applicable eligibility requirements to qualify.

4. If your children already belong to your condition plan, everything remains the same and nothing is subject to change.

5. If you do not want your dependents to remain on your policy until they are 26, you can remove them. In order to do this, you will need to make feel with your condition assurance supplier and ask for them to be removed.
