How can I find health insurance for my child?
Most health insurance companies will offer individual health insurance to healthy children as young as a day old. Many insurance companies will automatically accept a newborn child onto the plan if the parents are already members of the plan. Here is what you need to do:
If you have a group health insurance plan and want to add your child onto the plan then first find out from your HR department or insurance department how much it will cost to add your child onto the plan (and if your employer will pay for any of the premium). Then use this information as you comparison shop with individual health insurance plans (use our free quote finder to get free health insurance quotes).
If you are considered a low income worker by your state of residence then you may be eligible for state assistance in providing health insurance for your child. Speak with a local health insurance agent to find coverage for you and to find details on the children’s program in your state.
