only if you are a student otherwise you left their protected wing when you turned 18. there are circumstances that may apply in keeping under parent's plan . like if you are totally disabled or cannot make a decision for yourself, but these cases fall under medicaid. so if you are not a student and are healthy you are going to get a bill from the hospital or doctor or both

If someone is ill and has had lots of medical treatment and has no insurance when that person dies who is legally responsible for the bills?
A parent of a minor child is responsible for the child's medical bills. In many states, a spouse is responsible for the other spouse's medical bills. A parent of a grown child (18+.) is NOT responsible, nor is a child of an aging parent, unless someone signed the hospital or physician's form as a responsible party. If the deceased is an adult with no dependents and no one else signed a form to take financial responsibility, then the estate of the deceased will be responsible for the medical bills. If there is no cash in the estate, the provider is simply out of luck - they cannot chase after relatives in an attempt to collect the debt. If the deceased left a sum of cash or assets, then all outstanding bills should be paid from the estates assets prior to distribution to heirs.
