Our health insurance does not cover all medical expenses incurred for our child(ren). Who pays for the unreimbursed part of those expenses?
The first $250.00 of unreimbursed medical expenses per child per year are built into the basic Order. Additional uncovered medical expenses are divided between the parties in proportion to their net incomes. The Court may place an annual cap on the amount of these expenses that must be paid by the payor. Medical expenses do not include charges for cosmetic surgery, psychiatric or psychological or chiropractic services, unless these expenses are brought directly to the attention of the Court and addressed in the Order. If you anticipate incurring such expenses on behalf of your child(ren), make sure that you bring this matter to your attorney’s attention.
