BCBSVT / VACE Insurance Provides Dependent Health Coverage to Age 26 Information
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010. One of the provisions of this law requires health care plans to extend dependent care coverage to eligible individuals up to age 26 beginning with the first plan year anniversaries following September 23, 2010 (January 1, 2011 for VACE).
VACE / BCBSVT is proactively expediting this mandate by extending dependent coverage up to age 26 effective June 1, 2010 to those who are currently covered as dependents - at a time when some enrollees will graduate losing their student status.
Dependents that are under the age of 26, but are not now covered under their parent or guardians health insurance will be allowed to enroll as dependents on their parent's health insurance coverage upon the plans renewal January 1, 2011.
