Why did I receive a Dependent Eligibility Audit package?
If your employer has engaged Benetech to verify the eligibility of dependents covered by the benefit plans, and you have dependents enrolled in one or more of those plans, you would receive an audit package.
Why
is
dependent eligibility being audited?
Keeping high-quality benefits affordable for all eligible
persons is critically
important.
Covering ineligible
dependents drives
up the
cost of benefits for everyone. The
dependent eligibility verification program is another step in on-going efforts to provide valuable benefits to all who
are
eligible to participate, while helping
to
control healthcare
costs. Many employers
have fiduciary responsibilities regarding who is covered under their plans, and this program
is one of the best ways for to meet
those
responsibilities.
