Most insurance companies will cover a child as long as they are in school full time. So if you are 18 and a full time college student, then most insurance carriers will continue to cover you under your parents insurance until your graduate from college. If you are 18, have finished school, and do not plan on enrolling in any further education full time, then your coverage will usually expire. Check with the actual company the insurance policy is with, but the above is the usual rule of thumb. Also most policies will not cover teenage pregnancies even though the person is not 18.

24 years old, holding if the child is still in school F/T. My brother was under my mom's insurance, while in college F/T, all the way 'til he turned 25. A good friend stayed on her mom's insurance, also in college F/T, 'til her 25th b-day.

I was under my Grand parents insurance until I was 21 but their rules were...... a child (in the household) will be covered until they are 18 or outside of the household until 21 IF they are attending school.
