AmeriHealth Announces Early Extension Dependent Care Coverage

Beginning June 1, AmeriHealth will extend health insurance coverage for young adults up to age 26 who are currently covered by their parents’ individual or employer-sponsored health plans.

One provision of the health care reform legislation signed into law last month by President Obama makes coverage available to adult children up to age 26, on the renewal date of their policy beginning on or after September 23, 2010. By allowing these young adults to remain on their parents’ plans starting June 1, AmeriHealth is helping families avoid a potential gap in coverage until the new federal healthcare reform provision takes effect.

For more information about this new coverage, please read the Early Extension Dependent Care Coverage press release.
