The passage of the Health Care Reform Act, which requires insurers to provide coverage for dependent children up to age 26, has left many TRICARE beneficiaries asking what that would mean to their older dependent children since the current age limit for TRICARE is 21, or age 23 if the child is a full-time student.

The young adult coverage requirement took effect for plan years beginning on or after Sept. 23, 2010, though some plans and issuers extended coverage to adult children before this date. All plans and issuers should now be in compliance with the age 26 dependent coverage requirement.
