Miner88 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Anyone have any thoughts on this? Plan A covers a 24-year old employee and his 24-year old spouse. Both the employee and the spouse are also covered on their parents' group health plans. Assume that the plans do not address the COB issue in the documentation. I believe that for the employee, Plan A would be primary since plans covering a person as an employee are primary over plans covering the person as a dependent. But what about for the spouse? I've seen rules regarding COB when the plans of the parents both cover the child, but what about the case where the spouse and the parent both cover the person?

Miner88 Posted February 24, 2011 Author Posted February 24, 2011 Do you see any issue with the plan specifying that the plan covering the person as a dependent child is primary over the plan covering the person as a dependent spouse?
leevena Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Hard to say. I did not find anything that discussed that issue. I would go along with dependent child first.
