Handicapped Dependents. Coverage for a handicapped dependent who is primarily 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, may be continued past the limiting age for a dependent child. The handicap must have commenced prior to the age the handicapped dependent child lost eligibility. Proof of continuation of the handicap, including a medical examination, must be submitted to HMO upon denial of a claim for the reason of 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.
