What is the age limit for a son or daughter to be covered on health insurance?
Several years ago I recall the news reporting that children could be carried on their parents' health insurance through age 25 without proof that they were a student. My son is a student, but I am still trying to find the law.
Additional Details
I found my answer and the answer is 25. I should have further qualified my question by saying "in Texas."

About half way down, Covering Dependents, Texas Department of Insurance.

COVERING DEPENDENTS
Children and grandchildren covered by a plan as dependents are eligible for dependent health care coverage until the age of 25. State law requires plans to provide comparable coverage for a dependent if the enrolled parent is required to provide medical child support under a court order. The plan may not require the child to live within the service area or to live with the parent….Large-employer plans that include dependent coverage must also provide coverage for children up to age 25. However, except for emergency care and authorized referrals, an HMO plan can require dependent students to return to the plan’s service area to receive health care services.

There is no national law, and most states don't have such a law either.

At least one state does have the type of law you are describing...however, even then there are restrictions on that coverage.

For example, in New Jersey, according to state law a dependent can be left on the plan until age 30 if he/she meets certain criteria. Here are the requirements, from New Jersey's Department of Insurance website: http://www.state.nj.us/dobi/dependentsunder30.htm

I thought I recalled hearing about a similar law for West Virginia, but a quick search online didn't turn up anything.

You didn't mention what state you live in, but almost every state has no such law. So, its likely that you're out of luck. The student requirement is up to each employer to negotiate when they establish their benefit plan, and the rules for your benefit plan should be pretty cut and dry.

There is no such law. It is up to the health insurer. Most employer policies set a limit of 23 (with proof of student) with an unlimited age if your child is completely and totally disabled and needs you as a subscriber for ALL his/her support.

It is not a law. Check your insurer's policy.

It depends on the insurance company. I'm on my dad's insurance until I am 25 as long as I'm a student. And we have to prove that I'm a student each new semester.

I'm insured under my mother's insurance with Cigna and I am 23. I was told that as long as I am under 24 I can continue to be insured under her policy. Other insurances have the same policy as long as you show proof that he/she is in college. There is no "law" that says this, insurance companies have the right to make their own regulations and rules about who or when to insure a person.

I think it is 22 years, but it may depend on you health insurance provider. Health insurance and being a student do not change the decision of the insurance company.


mbrcatz
There's no blanket answer. There's no "law". Each insurance company is allowed to make it's own rule.

Generally, most cease when the child turns 19 if he's not in school full time, or 23 if he is in school full time, unless you've got a severely handicapped child (like downs syndrome) who can be kept on your plan forever.

Bottom line - you have to read your policy.

It's not the law it's usually up to your insurance carrier. My parents were able to insure me as long as I was a full time student they covered me until I was 24 and graduated from college. Once I left school I was off of their policy.

Call your insurance carrier and ask them.

I believe it is age 18.
In Maryland, there is a law allowing children to keep their parent's insurance [excluding federal employees'] until 21.
