I’m 24 and I used to be covered as a dependent on my parent’s policy through an employer. I dropped off last year when I found other coverage, but now I’ve lost that other coverage and want to get back on my parent’s policy. Can I do that?

Yes. You are still eligible to be covered as a dependent. Your parent’s plan must offer you a special opportunity to re-enroll if the coverage you lost was considered “minimum essential coverage.” That special enrollment period must last at least 30 days from the date you lost other coverage. You may also qualify for a special enrollment period if you lost Medicaid or CHIP coverage in the past 60 days. (29 C.F.R. § 2590.701-6; 45 C.F.R. § 147.120; 45 C.F.R. § 146.117).
