Indiana DCS Provides Coverage for Foster Parents

The Indiana Department of Child Services provides a foster parent insurance policy to cover incidents that occur while a foster child is in care.

The foster parent insurance policy is provided through Arthur Gallagher/Foster Parent Professionals. DCS will seek to auto-enroll foster parents into the policy coverage when an initial placement occurs into a foster home. When this occurs, foster parents should receive a letter from DCS confirming their enrollment. However, any licensed foster parent is eligible to enroll in the policy at any time by contacting the email address listed at the conclusion of this document.

See details of the coverage here.
