Court Ordered Insurance Coverage?

My father is currently paying child support every month or so. But last year the court ordered health, dental and vision insurance coverage from him as the noncustodial parent and it said it was now in effect. I was wondering am I covered for his insurance or not? It said it was in effect but that's basically it. So is there other things I have to do to be covered under his insurance or what?
--------------------
The court order is in effect. That doesn't mean that your dad's employer is required to add you to their policy, if you don't meet the definition of dependent for that policy. If you don't meet the definition of dependent - like maybe he has to claim you on his taxes - then to follow the court order, he has to buy private health insurance coverage for you. No here could possibly know, if you're covered under his employer's policy, or if he bought you a seperate policy - or even if he's complied with the court order. You'll have to ask him.
