Current estimates show that health plans that do not verify the eligibility of dependents cover up to 5% of ineligible participants. This estimate, when applied to the district health plan, represents a potential $300,000 or more paid in claims for participants who are not eligible to receive benefits.
To verify your dependent’s eligibility, we must have supporting documents such as a marriage certificate, birth certificate, etc., for each dependent, even if they are already enrolled or you have previously submitted this information to the Benefits Department.
We appreciate your assistance as we continue to be proactive in working to provide the best possible health care plan benefit options for our employees while remaining fiscally responsible. |
