When including Dental, Vision, Life or AD&D, employers often discover an eligibility requirement of student status in their Dependent Audit project.
This requirement means that, until approval of a school schedule from an accredited institution, students are not considered verified.
Think Student Status doesn’t matter? Guess again.
Sometimes prospective clients or brokers are confused about Student Status Verification. Some even try to tell us that Student Status doesn’t matter for Dependent Audits since ACA extended coverage to age 26 regardless of the status.
That’s NOT true.
A professional Dependent Audit regularly includes Medical, Dental, Vision and frequently Life or AD&D.
Even if employers pay little or no premium for the non-medical coverage, the claims for that plan impact all employees without regard to fully insured vs. self-insured.
Also, the additional lines of coverage rarely result in a substantial cost increase for the audit due to the small numbers of employees who decline medical but enroll in other lines of coverage.
