Handicapped Children. Coverage is available for a child who is chiefly dependent upon the Subscriber for support and maintenance, and who is 19 years of age or older but incapable of self- support due to mental or physical incapacity. The incapacity must have commenced prior to the age the dependent would have lost eligibility. In order to continue coverage for a handicapped child, the Subscriber must provide evidence of the child's incapacity and dependency to HMO within 31 days of the date the child's coverage would otherwise terminate. Proof of continued incapacity, including a medical examination, must be submitted to HMO as requested, but not more frequently than annually beginning after the 2 year period following the child's attainment of the age specified on the Schedule of Benefits. This eligibility provision will no longer apply on the date the dependent’s incapacity ends.
