A cognitive assessment is an examination conducted to determine someone's level of cognitive function. There are a number of reasons to perform such an exam, and this test can be administered by a mental health professional, neurologist, or education professional, depending on how it is to be used.
The passage of the Health Care Reform Act, which requires insurers to provide coverage for dependent children up to age 26, has left many TRICARE beneficiaries asking what that would mean to their older dependent children since the current age limit for TRICARE is 21, or age 23 if the child is a full-time student.
One of the earliest provisions rolled out under the 2010 Affordable Care Act allows young adults to remain on their parentsâ health insurance plan until they reach age 26. It was immediately popular. Before the law, dependent children often âaged outâ of their parentsâ health plan at age 19, or 22 if they were full-time students. Last year, an estimated 7.8 million adults between the ages of 19 and 25 were able to either join or stay on their parentsâ plans, according to the Commonwealth Fundâs 2013 annual tracking survey. The figure includes 3.3 million young adults between 19 and 22 who were not full-time students and 4.5 million young adults age 23 to 25.
