What Are My Options Once I Age Off of My Parent's Health Insurance?

After turning 26, the exact time at which your parent’s health insurance plan expires will depend on how your parent gets their health insurance - private or public coverage. After turning 26, you will be able to sign up for your plan within a specific 120-day period or during the year-end Open Enrollment Period, but to avoid a coverage gap, you should decide upon a plan before or during your birthday month.

To find out if your surgery is covered by health insurance, you should review your Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC).

Does Health Insurance Always Cover Emergency Room Visits?

In general, insurance companies will cover the cost of your visit to the ER (minus deductibles or copays), as long as your condition is deemed emergent. In some instances, like for the treatment of minor illnesses, you may be responsible for the out-of-pocket costs. Some emergencies can be treated at urgent care facilities instead of ERs to save money, such as sprains and stitches.
