Requires health plans to provide information, allow claim submission, and make direct payments to the custodial parent for a child's benefits under a noncustodial parent's (including stepparent's) coverage pursuant to medical child support orders, facilitating enforcement of such orders.
In any case in which a child has benefits under the group health plan or health insurance coverage of a noncustodial parent (including a stepparent), such plan or the issuer offering such coverage shall-- (1) provide such information to the custodial parent as may be necessary for the child to obtain benefits through such plan or such coverage; (2) permit the custodial parent (or provider, with the custodial parent's approval) to submit claims for covered services without the approval of the noncustodial parent; and (3) make payment on claims submitted in accordance with paragraph (2) directly

2026-03-30: Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on Ways and Means, and Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill addresses medical child support orders in the context of divorce by imposing requirements on group health plans, health insurance issuers, FEHB plans, and federal health care programs to assist the custodial parent in obtaining and being paid for the child's benefits under the noncustodial parent's coverage. This changes obligations related to child support (specifically health coverage enforcement) in favor of the custodial parent, increasing obligations on the noncustodial parent and thus restricting on the custody-support axis. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
