Adding Parents to a UnitedHealthcare Plan

Is it possible to add my parents to my UnitedHealthcare plan, and what are the requirements or limitations involved? I’m interested in knowing the steps to take and any potential costs or coverage changes that may arise from doing so.

No, you can’t add a parent. But she can get a plan through healthcare.gov if she meets the minimum income requirement. Medicare if over 65.

Adding parents to your UnitedHealthcare plan can be a bit complex, as most health insurance plans, including those from UnitedHealthcare, typically do not allow parents to be added as dependents.

Generally, health insurance plans cover spouses and children, but not parents.

The best option available is to look another separate cover for the parents.
