Do I need to add a foster or adoptive child to my health insurance?

Foster children will receive full medical coverage through Medicaid.   You cannot add a foster child to your health insurance plan.  Once an  adoption has finalized you can add your adopted child to your health  insurance plan.  Some children qualify for continued medical coverage by  Medicaid until the age of 18 and your health insurance can be utilized  to supplement the Medicaid coverage.
