With this rate structure the employer may be electing to partially support employer paid coverages with the rate for the employee paid coverages. This means that premiums paid for one coverage may cover the cost of another coverage under the Plan. When we quote rates with such partial support between the employee paid and employer paid coverages we do so with the understanding that the employer and employee coverages are part of a single ERISA plan sponsored by the employer and that the employer has determined that the rate structure is consistent with information provided to employees and with its ERISA obligations. If this understanding is not accurate, please contact us.
