Asked on Dec 02nd, 2011 on Business Law - Colorado
More details to this question:
I was divorced in february. I am court-mandated to carry health insurance for my my ex-wife until the end of this year. I have kept her on my employer''s group insurance policy (in colorado) at a subsidized rate. I did not inform my employer of the divorce. I realize now that this could constitute insurance fraud. How would i proceed on this issue? What should my next steps be?
You will need to make full disclosure to your employer and pay the supplemental appropriate premium. You may have difficulty continuing your ex-wife under your employer's policy because her COBRA election period has expired.
