Easier Access to Child Health Benefits After Divorce or Separation

This act ensures that custodial parents can easily use the health insurance provided by a noncustodial parent for their child. It removes the need for the noncustodial parent's permission to file claims and ensures payments go directly to the caregiver or doctor.
Key points
Insurance companies must provide custodial parents with all necessary information to access child benefits.
Custodial parents can submit medical claims without needing approval from the other parent.
Insurance payments will be sent directly to the custodial parent or the healthcare provider.
