Dependent Eligibility
If you currently have coverage on any of your eligible dependents, you can continue to cover them. Please note, if you drop coverage for any of your dependents or yourself, you can not add the coverage again in the future. Dependents are defined as:
• Your legally married spouse,
• Your natural child, stepchild, legally adopted child, a child placed for adoption, a child for whom you are required to provide health insurance by a Qualified Medical Child Support Order, or a child for whom you or your spouse have legal guardianship. The child is eligible for coverage through the end of the month in which they turn age 26. You are responsible for notifying Human Resources that your dependent is no longer eligible for coverage,
• Your disabled dependent(s) who are age 26 or older, primarily supported by you, and incapable of self-sustaining employment by reason of mental or physical handicap.
Medical Plan Choice
There are two plan options. Each utilizes the Priority Health network of providers. You can locate participating providers near you by visiting the Priority Health website at www.priorityhealth.com using the “Find a Doctor” feature. Although both plans give you the freedom to seek care outside of the Priority Health network, you will always have the highest level of coverage if you remain in-network. Please refer to your SBC for full details.
The SBC is a requirement under health care reform and replaces the benefit-at-a-glance documents. It allows you to compare your Allegan County provided benefits to other employers, such as your spouse’s plan or even Medicare options. We encourage you to use the SBC to determine which plan is right for you.
