    You wouldn't be able to add a parent to your health insurance plan because there are only certain dependents that are allowed to be added to your health plan - your spouse and your children/step-children.

    Since you can no longer be declined for health insurance due to a pre-existing condition or other health-related issue, your parents would be able to secure their own health insurance coverage. They may have group health insurance available through their employer if they're still working. If they're 65 or older, they would have Medicare as an option as well.

    I hope that helps answer your question. Please feel free to contact me for further assistance. Thanks very much.

    Can you add your father onto your health insurance plan? In most all cases the answer would be no. It will depend on what your plan allows in the dependent section. That would be where you start your review of this question. At this time I do not know of any plan that will allow a person to enroll as a dependent their parent.
