Dependent Eligibility Verification

Save money and ensure compliance

COMPLIANCE

Dependent audit administration

Our Dependent Eligibility Verification (DEV) service provides a way for you to ensure that all your employees’ covered dependents are truly eligible to participate in your health benefit plan. These audits are a smart business practice for employers of all sizes, helping control unnecessary expenses, reduce liability, and serve to ensure compliance under federal laws such as ERISA, COBRA, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) local and state laws. You as an employer have a responsibility to ensure that the health plan covers only those eligible under the plan. This audit helps show you are taking the necessary steps to ensure compliance.

TASC’s collaborative approach allows our program to be tailored to your company culture. We will advise you of the available options for timing, amnesty and communication. We will also administer the audit process and work with employees through the eligibility, unenrollment, and appeal processes. We’ll also present a final report with audit data and identify changes made to employee benefit plans.

Why TASC DEV Compliance?

Streamline & save: dependents verified

TASC DEV service enables companies to reduce costs and improve efficiencies, but also ensures a fair and impartial verification process, protecting employees from potential issues if ineligible dependents were mistakenly covered under their plan.

DEV not only ensures the integrity of your benefit plans but also reduces potential confusion among employees navigating the process, fostering trust and peace of mind for employees and their families.

Reduced Liability

Public and Private employer plan fiduciaries face scrutiny under federal, state and local laws. It is an employer’s responsibility to ensure that their health plan covers only those eligible under the plan. Our Dependent Eligibility Verification (DEV) audits ensure you are taking the necessary steps to ensure compliance and mitigate your risk.

Stop Premium Overpayment

Industry estimates suggest that up to 10% of dependents are ineligible for coverage under healthcare plans, meaning you could be spending a lot more on premiums than you should be. By confirming the eligibility of dependents TASC can prevent your financial burden of covering individuals who do not meet the criteria for coverage.
