Qualified Medical Child Support Order

A qualified medical child support order (QMCSO) is a legal judgment, decree or order issued under a state domestic relations law by a court or an administrator. A QMCSO recognizes the rights of a child to coverage for health care benefits. Under a child support order, the court can require you to provide coverage to a child under this plan.

You will be notified if any of your children are affected by a QMCSO. You may contact the Benefits Office by e-mail at benefits@uchicago.edu for information regarding the procedures governing QMCSOs.
