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.
Children who cannot receive coverage through work can remain on their parentsâ plan until age 26. This age limit varies by state; in Ohio, for example, the age limit is 28. In 2014, all plans must allow coverage up to age 26 (even if the dependent has access to coverage through work).
