Five strategies about health care for kids of divorce

1.

Have a legitimate discussion about naturopathic and nontraditional medicine, as many of those treatments are covered by insurance but may be more effective and even cheaper in the long run.
2.

Choose your home based on its proximity to the hospitals and doctors that your health plan recognizes.
3.

Have enough agreement about the payment and types of medical services that there will not be an incentive to get sick at one parent’s house or the other’s.
4.

Agree on those medical (or otherwise physical) procedures that you do not want either parent to have performed on the children under any circumstances.
5.

Share the responsibility of dividing the responsibility of scheduling the children’s medical appointments and transporting them.
