Does Your Company Have A $24,000 Health Insurance Overpayment Lurking?

One employer discovered a past COBRA participant had inadvertently been left on the carrier bill for a full year. Another found a former participant who had been left on the carrier invoice for two years. In the worst scenario, the overpayment spanned 2 1/2 years and added up to an insurance premium overpayment of $24,000.

These COBRA overpayment scenarios are more common than you think. If you haven't audited your COBRA documentation against your group health insurance carrier invoices lately, you should. Now is a crucial time to take a closer look, since your new plan year just began.

Did you know the look-back period for correcting invoice mistakes is just 60-days long? If you wait longer than 60 days to notify a health carrier of an error, the company does not have to credit your account - unless you have solid COBRA documentation proving that the carrier was advised to remove the participant from your plan.
