Extends time period in which to enroll newborn infant in health benefits coverage.

S 4983 extends the deadline for enrolling newborn infants in health benefits coverage from 60 days to 90 days after birth. This change applies to both family health plans (covering parents and dependents) and individual plans that include newborns. Parents will now have 90 days, instead of 60, to submit birth notification and required payments to maintain continuous coverage for their infant. The bill does not alter the initial coverage start date (which remains effective at birth) but provides additional time to complete enrollment paperwork.
