Dependent Eligibility Audit
http://www.hr.upenn.edu/Benefits/DependentAudit.aspx
As part of an important initiative
to ensure legal compliance and
good governance—and to aid
in our continuing goal to control
healthcare costs—Penn will
be conducting a dependent eligibility
audit for our health plans beginning
May 1, 2008.
What does this mean for you? If
you elect to cover dependents
under Penn‘s health plans
for the new plan year (July 1,
2008 - June 30, 2009), you‘ll
need to provide documentation
verifying their eligibility for
coverage under Penn‘s plan
rules. It‘s important to
understand that if you can‘t
produce that documentation when
Penn requests it, any unverified
dependents will be dropped from
your coverage, and there may be
additional consequences. Please
keep reading for answers to the
following questions:
» What is a dependent eligibility
audit?
» Why is Penn conducting
this audit?
» How will the audit work?
» How do I know if my dependents
are eligible?
» What happens if someone
is covering an ineligible dependent?
» What do I need to do?
» Where do I go if I still
have questions?
