Can you cover your grandkids with Texas health insurance?
February 29, 2008 2:11 pm BusinessIf you have an individual Texas health insurance policy, there are more guarantees in place, thanks to protection laws governing the insurance industry in the state. For instance, if you adopt a child or give birth, they are automatically covered for the first month. However, it is your responsibility to add them to your Texas health insurance policy. In addition, if you have a handicapped child that depends on you for their only support, they are covered as well, even if they are past the dependent age cut-off. In addition, grandchildren are covered under Texas health insurance policies if they are totally dependent on their grandparents. The grandparents have to retain custody and be the primary caregivers.
