Adding your new dependent to your insurance

Planning for the birth of a baby is a busy time in a family’s life. One of the requirements that can be overlooked is updating your health plan to reflect the addition of your newest family member, whether it’s a newborn, adoption or other dependent change event. Not understanding this process and the time restrictions involved can prove costly to a family.

Once your new baby is born, or you adopt a child, you must contact your insurance carrier to add your new dependent. Most insurance companies require to be notified within 30 days of the birth or adoption, but it is best to check with your individual health plan to understand their requirements. Not adding your child to your health plan in time may result in a lapse in coverage and all services provided during that time will be the responsibility of the patient’s parents/guardians. Make sure to contact your insurance carrier with any questions regarding this process.

Thank you for considering CPM for your family’s healthcare needs.

You can call any of our office locations or 203-790-0822. You will be promoted with an after-hours message. If you select option 1 you will be connected with CPM’S after-hours answering service team. The after-hours team will gather all of your child’s information (Patient's first and last name, best contact number, and health care concern). This message will be sent to “Rainbow Babies” an experienced triage service that CPM uses to assist us with clinical after-hours calls. A trained triage nurse will call the patient back and provide the recommended clinical advice. If the triage nurse needs more assistance they will reach out to one of CPM’s on-call providers for the night. CPM’s on-call provider will call the patient directly and continue to evaluate your child over the phone. All phone call encounters are followed up with a call the next day from CPM’s triage department.

If it is a life-threatening emergency please call 911.
