Birth of A Child

If you have a child born during the plan year, congratulations! You may enroll your newborn in Rutherford County benefits. You have the option to add your child to the plans you are already enrolled in, switch plans or networks, or pick up plans for which your new dependent is eligible.

To cover your newborn, you must:

  1. Notify the Insurance & Risk Management Department within 30 days of the birth of your child at [email protected]
  2. Provide a copy of the mother's copy of your child's Birth Certificate
  3. When available, provide a copy of your child's Social Security card
  4. Provide the plans and networks in which you want to enroll your child

If you have questions, please email the Insurance & Risk Management Department at [email protected].
