Guest Greta Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 If a COBRA administrator does not send an invoice to an employee, does the responsibility fall on the administrator or the employee? We have a former employee in this situation who did not make their payment since they didn't receive the invoice. They were termed from COBRA for non-payment. As the employer, what concerns should we have with this?
Guest kowen Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 By COBRA administrator, do you the Plan administrator who is an entity other than the employer, or a TPA?
Sandra Pearce Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 There is no regulation requiring an invoice. However, if you normally send an invoice and for some reason did not then the obligation is the Plan's. Your COBRA election notice should state specifically how and to whom payments are to be made.
Guest Greta Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 So if the employee that was termed decided to take legal action, do they have a good chance of winning? In one case, the person did not even give us a chance to resolve the issue.
Sandra Pearce Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 I would think that if the election notice gave the appropriate payment information and the COBRA QB did not pay the premium in the specified period of time, billing or no billing, the COBRA QB would be at fault.
Guest Greta Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 I thought that may be the case, but wanted to concur with the experts! Thanks!
