  • A plan that covers a person as an employee - who is neither laid off nor retired - is primary. The other plan may not have a rule for laid off or retired employees similar to this rule. In this case, the rule is ignored.
  • The only situation in which the laid off/retiree rule may apply is when a member is employee/subscriber for both the active and inactive plan. Therefore, if member is a subscriber on an inactive plan and is a spouse or dependent on an active plan, then the plan in which member is a retiree is primary.

Rule 4 - Active/Inactive Employee (Laid Off/Retiree)

Ghost call process

  • If preceding rules do not determine the order of benefits, the benefits of the plan that covered an employee longer are determined to be primary over those that covered the employee for a shorter period of time.
  • There are instances when an employee has two jobs and is covered under group plans with each employer.
  • This rule applies when a married dependent child is covered under a spouse's plan and is covered under a parent's plan when none of the rules above apply.
  • This rule also takes over when all other rules (applied in the sequence here) do not determine an order of benefits.
  • In determining the length of time an individual has been covered under a plan, two plans shall be treated as one continuous plan if the individual was eligible for coverage within 24 hours of the prior plan's termination. A change in benefits, type of plan, or carrier does not constitute the start of a new plan.
  • If an individual's effective date of coverage under a plan is subsequent to the effective date of the actual insurance plan, the individual's length of time covered under the plan is measured from the individual's effective date of coverage.

Rule 6 - Longer/Shorter Length of Coverage

This includes parents who live together, but are not married.

  • The plan of parent/legal guardian whose birth date is earlier in the calendar year will be primary for children, and plan of parent/legal guardian whose birth date is later in the calendar year will be secondary.
  • The term birthday refers only to the month and day in a calendar year, not year person was born.
  • If both parents have same birthday, then plan of parent who has been in effect the longest is primary over plan that covered other parent for shorter period of time.
  • If other plan does not follow the birthday rule, but follows gender rule (male's coverage is always primary over female's) or another conflicting rule, then other plan's rule will determine which plan is primary.
  • Birthday Rule: Compare parents' birthdays to determine which plan is primary.
    • Whichever month is earlier in the year, that plan is primary.
    • If month is the same, go by the day. Whichever day is earlier in the month, that plan is primary.
    • If birthday is exactly the same, whichever plan has been in effect longer is primary.

  • There are situations when individuals can be covered under a group health plan and under a COBRA plan. If an individual was covered with a group health plan with their employer and had coverage under another group health plan through their spouse, they would have two group health coverages. If that individual then moved to a COBRA plan through their employer, they can still retain the group health coverage through their spouse. They would then have a COBRA plan and group health coverage.

Rule 5 - COBRA Continuation of Coverage
