BCBSTX stopped quoting its current child-only policies on July 30, and the last assigned effective dates for those policies will be September 15, 2010. Any application that has not been approved by September 1, 2010, will be withdrawn from consideration. Once the DOI approves this new policy, BCBSTX will provide information on how to apply for the coverage.

BCBSTX will continue to honor all existing individual policies issued for those under age 19. In addition, those under 19 can request coverage through the carrier’s individual and group policies that include dependent coverage.
