Does my health insurance cover my parents?!


Question:

Does my health insurance cover my parents?

i have a ppo with my work; are my parents covered under my health insurance?


Answers:

No!! It's usually the other way around. Your parents can cover you under their health insurance if you are still considered a dependent. Your own health insurance would just cover your spouse and family as provided. If the company you worked for provides it as a free health benefit; consider yourself lucky.


Nowadays, most companies require of their employees to pay for their own insurance premiums even though it's offered to the company on a special group rate package or policy.

You can pay for your parents on a separate private health insurance not work- related . But it's costly If they are aged, they're better off relying on Medicare or Medical. .
