Can I buy insurance for my child?
Yes. To enroll your child only, enter the child's gender and birth date in the "Applicant" or first row. Additional children should be entered separately.
Are there any age restrictions for Children's plans?
Age restrictions vary from plan to plan.
- For unmarried children covered under a BCBSNM Family policy, the issue age is from birth to age 25.
- For most BCBSNM Child-Only policies, the issue age is from birth through 17 years old.
- For a temporary Child-Only policy, the issue age is 60 days old through 17 years old.
The child must be a permanent resident of New Mexico and a United States citizen. A parent or court-appointed guardian must sign the application on behalf of the child. When enrolling online, each child should be entered on the quote separately.
