HELP, INSURANCE QUESTION....

I recently got a job that has better medical coverage than my husbands. He is required to provide SS with med insurance. If I put us all on my insurance, even though we are married, is there ANY reason that BM could cause trouble since I'm providing it and not DH?

I can't see why. As long as

I can't see why. As long as the kid has coverage it should not matter and the only reason you can do that is because DH is married to you. I do not think the courts would have issue with that.

The only thing that stopped

The only thing that stopped me from carrying skids was the fact that their horrible BM would have my personal information, which could include ss# and employer information. She's a complete pain, so that wouldn't work for me!

My employer's information,

My employer's information, for one, is on the card. I would also have to provide documentation of my involvement (evidence that I was carrying coverage on the kids) to the court, which would expose my paycheck and income.

But you all are probably right about protecting ss#. There's a benefit number now...

I'm still not doing it...

to prevent that ^^ you can

to prevent that you can set up a password on your policy that has to be given when someone calls in.

I did it on mine. If you don't have the pw, the ins co won't talk to you.

Another glitch: I used to

Another glitch: I used to carry my husband on my insurance, but this past year my employer decided that all dependents eligible to be covered under their own employer's insurance should be. They were going to charge me an extra $100/mo to keep him on since he was eligible. Needless to say, he switched and it actually costs us less.

Just be aware, this is happening. I suspect it will be happening more too.
