Hi,

Does anyone know if a dependent can continue to be insured on a parents insurance plan after age 26 if they have a disability? (not on SSD)
It is Blue Cross, employeer group plan.

Thank you

Doesn't "dependent" mean someone that lives with you that you're supporting? This person has trouble working due to health problems but is not on SSDI? I don't know the details of specific insurance plans. You may or may not be able to keep them on your insurance, I don't know. Search the web, you might find an answer. The Blue Cross site may have an answer.

You have to have it documented by a doctor though. To continue to get my dental and vision again, my doctor has to write them a letter stating my disability.

Difference contracts can have different provisions. Best to call the BC/BS customer service to find out. But remember, even then you can get bad information. Keep asking until you finds a customer service rep who researches the provisions carefully.

Good luck! I hope you can stay covered.
