Adding Dependents as a Result of Adoption

Adoption Indemnity Benefit
The adoption indemnity benefit was created as a result of Utah state legislation. Members are eligible for the adoption indemnity benefit when adopting a newborn that is placed with the member within 90 days of the child’s birth. Members have one year from the date of placement to submit a claim. The member adopting the child must be eligible for benefits on the date the child is placed for adoption with the member. The child does not have to be enrolled in order for the member to receive the adoption indemnity benefit. Eligible members on Utah contracts will be reimbursed at a set amount determined by state law.
