§ 416. Elements of support; provisions for accident, life and health\ninsurance benefits. (a) The court may include in the requirements for an\norder for support the providing of necessary shelter, food, clothing,\ncare, medical attention, expenses of confinement, the expense of\neducation, payment of funeral expenses, and other proper and reasonable\nexpenses.\n (b) The court may also order a party to purchase, maintain, or assign\na policy of accident insurance or insurance on the life of either party\nand designate in the case of life insurance, the person or persons on\nwhose behalf the petition is brought or in the case of accident\ninsurance, the insured party as irrevocable beneficiaries during a\nperiod of time fixed by the court. The obligation to provide such\ninsurance shall cease upon the termination of such party's duty to\nprovide support.\n (c) Every support order shall provide that if any legally responsible\nrelative currently, or at any time in the future, has health insurance\nbenefits available that may be extended or obtained to cover any person\non whose behalf the petition is brought, such responsible relative is\nrequired to exercise the option of additional coverage in favor of such\nperson whom he or she is legally responsible to support and to execute\nand deliver to such person any forms, notices, documents, or instruments\nto assure timely payment of any health insurance claims for such person.\n (d) As used in this section, the following terms shall have the\nfollowing meanings: (1) "Health insurance benefits" means any medical,\ndental, optical and prescription drugs and health care services or other\nhealth care benefits that may be provided for a dependent through an\nemployer or organization, including such employers or organizations\nwhich are self insured, or through other available health insurance or\nhealth care coverage plans.\n (2) "Available health insurance benefits" means any health insurance\nbenefits that are reasonable in cost and that are reasonably accessible\nto the person on whose behalf the petition is brought. Health insurance\nbenefits that are not reasonable in cost or whose services are not\nreasonably accessible to such person shall be considered unavailable.\n (3) When the person on whose behalf the petition is brought is a child\nin accordance with subdivision (e) of this section, health insurance\nbenefits shall be considered "reasonable in cost" if the cost of health\ninsurance benefits does not exceed five percent of the combined parental\ngross income. The cost of health insurance benefits shall refer to the\ncost of the premium and deductible attributable to adding the child or\nchildren to existing coverage or the difference between such costs for\nself-only and family coverage. Provided, however, the presumption that\nthe health insurance benefits are reasonable in cost may be rebutted\nupon a finding that the cost is unjust or inappropriate which finding\nshall be based on the circumstances of the case, the cost and\ncomprehensiveness of the health insurance benefits for which the child\nor children may otherwise be eligible, and the best interests of the\nchild or children. In no instance shall health insurance benefits be\nconsidered "reasonable in cost" if a parent's share of the cost of\nextending such coverage would reduce the income of that parent below the\nself-support reserve. Health insurance benefits are "reasonably\naccessible" if the child lives within the geographic area covered by the\nplan or lives within thirty minutes or thirty miles of travel time from\nthe child's residence to the services covered by the health insurance\nbenefits or through benefits provided under a reciprocal agreement;\nprovided, however, this presumption may be rebutted for good cause shown\nincluding, but not limited to, the special health needs of the child.\nThe court shall set forth such finding and the reasons therefor in the\norder of support.\n (e) When the
