HB 1845: Medical support obligations

Concerning medical support obligations.

Summary

  • Requires a court to order both parents to provide medical support for a child by providing health insurance coverage or cash medical support, and by providing for uninsured medical expenses.
  • Establishes procedures for the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) to enforce medical support obligations by requiring the obligated parent to pay the other party a proportion of the health insurance premium paid by the other party or by the state.
  • Allows the DSHS, when the child is on Medicaid and the DSHS is enforcing cash medical support, to disburse amounts collected from an obligated parent to the other parent or to retain amounts and apply them toward the cost of providing the child's state-funded medical coverage.
