Understanding health coverage transition and benefits

LEARN: [text]

Your child's health coverage and benefits are likely to change in adulthood. If your child is covered under a family insurance plan, verify continued eligibility - or make a plan to transition to student, employer or other coverage.

If health coverage is a new topic for your child, describe how it helps to pay for doctor visits so you don't have to pay for everything yourself. Introduce terms such as premium, deductible and co-pay. If your child will be transitioning to a new plan, encourage questions and find answers together.
