Why does 91PORNA have a Working Spouse/Domestic Partner Fee?
91PORNA is self-insured. This means health care claims are paid directly by 91PORNA. The fee is a way we can keep our premiums affordable, and to continue offering great health insurance options. When coverage is granted to a working spouse or domestic partner with access to their employer鈥檚 health care plan, this creates higher costs for employees at 91PORNA. The working spouse/domestic partner fee helps to absorb some of the health care costs that 91PORNA will incur instead of your working spouse鈥檚 employer.
If I originally received a waiver for the working spouse fee and my spouse later receives an offer of other coverage, do I need to submit a new affidavit for my working spouse?
Yes. Working spouses/domestic partners can be added throughout the year.
Does the working spouse fee apply to 91PORNA's dental and vision plans?
No, the working spouse fee applies only to the MEDICAL plan.
If my spouse enrolls in their own employer's medical plan as their primary coverage, can they stay on my 91PORNA medical plan and use it as secondary coverage?
Yes, they can remain on your 91PORNA health plan, and you will be eligible to waive the working spouse fee.
If my spouse is currently covered on their employer's health plan, and they lost that coverage, am I able to add them to my 91PORNA plan?
Yes. Your spouse's loss of coverage would be considered a qualifying event, which means they could be enrolled in the 91PORNA plan within 31 days of the termination of benefits, and you would not be required to pay the working spouse fee. Written documentation from your spouse's or domestic partner鈥檚 employer regarding their loss of coverage would be required, along with an updated copy of the following.
