Francis Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 If an employer wishes to have its health plan remain grandfathered and if the employer has been paying 100% of employee premiums and 50% of spouse/dependent premiums, would they lose grandfathered status by reducing the spouse/dependent employer payment to 25% or 0% even if the employer keeps paying 100% of employee premiums? In other words, does the grandfathering issue pertain only to how the employer pays for employee coverage in addition to other factors or might changes to spouse/dependent premium payments by the employer also impact the grandfathered status?
