he's a 17 year old child.


living on the other side of the country.


in order to be eligible for medicaid, we need to drop him from our employers health insurance


the medical facilities on the east coast do not accept our health insurance|||Contact your benefits center or human resources (or whoever is in charge through your employer for benefits) and speak to them. Typically can't until open enrollment, so wouldn't be effective until your next benefit period (common is 01/01, but some companies are contract years so can be any time)|||Of course. You can contact your benefits manager at work and tell them to take him off.|||Chances are you will have to wait until open enrollment time.





But having health insurance does not automatically disqualify you from being eligible for medicaid.|||You can't, until open enrollment comes around.





As he's a minor, your income will still count for medicaid eligibility - and if they give it to him, expect medicaid to come after YOU for the child support.
