Adoption or Placement for Adoption

If you adopt a child during the plan year, congratulations! You may enroll your child 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 add your child to your benefits, you must:

1. Notify the Insurance & Risk Management Department within 30 days of the placement or finalization of adoption at [email protected]
2. Provide the appropriate dependent verification documents for your child
3. 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].
