When the child reaches age 18, he is legally considered to be an adult in Wisconsin. A hospital or doctor could not pursue you to pay the child's medical bills. There are other ways that a parent could be held responsible for an 18-year-old's medical care. For example, if the parent had been court-ordered to provide health insurance as part of a child support order.
Under health reform, a parent can keep a child on his health insurance until the child reaches age 26. Some plans will not allow you to keep the child on your plan if the child has an employer-sponsored plan offered to him. And you cannot cover your child's spouse or children on your plan.
