Dependent Coverage 101
What To Do If You Receive Notice About A Dependent Audit
« Previous4/4
As a general matter, when companies do an audit of dependents:
- A written notice and request for information is generally sent to the insured.
- The insured usually has 30 - 45 days to respond to the request for information.
- If you do not respond within the stated period, your dependent may lose health coverage even if he or she fits within the definition of "dependent" in your health plan.
- Most companies offer an amnesty period. If someone is being covered through you as a dependent who should not be covered, you will generally not be held liable for any overpayment up to that date. If you do not declare a person who is a dependent who should not be during the amnesty period, you may be held liable to pay back premiums, and possibly medical expenses, paid with respect to that person.
