Are children living away at school eligible for benefits?
Members who are full-time students and are temporarily residing outside of the service area will be covered for any treatment they receive for medical emergencies at the in-network rate. For the Southern Health commercial plans, Southern Health also offers the Passport Program for eligible dependents. With the Passport Program, dependents who are enrolled in one of our plans and live outside the service area receive out-of-area coverage at the highest level of benefits for certain services that are received from providers who participate in the Coventry Health Care National Network. Call Customer Service to find out if your dependent qualifies and how your dependent can participate in the Passport Program.
