Kentucky Lawmakers Approve Bill To Allow Unmarried Adult Children To Remain on Parents’ Insurance Policies
The Kentucky General Assembly on Wednesday approved a bill (HB 440) that would require health insurers to allow parents to keep unmarried children on their health plans until age 25, the Louisville Courier-Journal reports. Parents would have to pay extra to keep adult children on their plans. The bill also would require insurers to provide physicians and other health care providers 90 days' notice before changing a payment rate. The bill now goes to Gov. Steve Beshear (D) for final approval (Louisville Courier-Journal, 4/3).
