Can the employer pay for the MCHA coverage?

A. An employer, which has in its employment an eligible MCHA person, may make all or any portion of the premium payment to MCHA [employer can pay quarterly premiums by check, MCHA will not accept employer automated clearing house (ACH) payments]. This individual can not have access to an employer group plan and can not be treated any differently from other employees who have access to employer group coverage. Suspected fraud cases will be reported to the Department of Commerce to investigate. If an employer fails to make premium payments on behalf of the employee, the MCHA enrollee runs the risk of termination just as any enrollee who fails to pay their own premium.
