Each company can make their own provisions for step-children.  The birthday rule almost always applies to bio-children, but not always to step-children.  

The best idea is to contact the HR rep for the step-dad and ask who the insurance carrier is.  I believe that due to the HIPPA laws a non-custodial parent is allowed to find out if a child is covered under a specific plan.  That is the only information allowed to be given.
