What does disqualify a child younger than age 26 for coverage?
A. If the child is eligible for an employer-sponsored plan either as an employee or as a spouse of an employee, he isn’t eligible for coverage through his parent’s health plan. Medicare and Medicaid are not considered employer-sponsored coverage, so a child younger than 26 who is eligible for or enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid will be allowed to enroll on his parent’s coverage through EIP.
