Lets two parents who each have their own health coverage pick which parent’s policy or group plan will be the primary insurer for their newborn. Parents must both notify the plan or insurer within 60 days of the child’s birth, using the method the Secretary requires; the chosen plan stays primary until both parents tell the plan to stop it or until the enrolled parent loses that coverage. The rule is added to the Public Health Service Act, ERISA, and the Internal Revenue Code and applies to children born on or after 2026-01-01.
