My company pays for my medical coverage for the children. Is that taken into consideration when calculating child support amount?

Taken into consideration in what way? If you mean does it count as a credit toward your payment obligations, no, not at all. If you mean is it included in your income for calculating support, maybe. It would depend on how your employer reports it for tax purposes.

It wouldn't reduce your support amounts. It would prevent the court from entering a separate order requiring you to pay for medical care, however.
