Spouse's Employer Plan as Primary Payor

[DTH]

An employer sponsors a medical plan and requires that a participant's spouse, who is eligible for coverage under his/her employer's plan, must be covered under that plan as primary coverage. The participant may also enroll a spouse under the participant's plan, but that will be secondary coverage. Any issues with this?

We have many self-funded plans do this. If it is an insured plan, you may want to check with your state department of insurance.
