Health Net covers newborns or adoptees of the subscriber or spouse automatically for the first 30 days of life, if the plan provides for dependent coverage.
Coverage after 30 days is contingent on the subscriber enrolling the eligible newborn through the subscriber's employer as a family member within 30 days following birth or placement, assuming the subscriber's employer has dependent coverage to insure the spouse, dependents or members of the immediate family. The child is then eligible with no lapse in coverage.
If the child is not added to the plan within 30 days from birth, the child is no longer covered and any services incurred after the 30th day are the financial responsibility of the child's parent or guardian.
