What age can a child remain on a family health plan until?

Some will class any child still living at home as a child, whereas others will have a maximum age, often 21 years. Some policies will allow children up to 24 to be covered as a dependent if they are still in full time education. It is important to consider the terms and conditions regarding this – as it could have a considerable impact on overall value.

Most policies allow new-born babies to be added to the policy straight away from their date of birth. Usually, they are not required to be medically underwritten.
