How will the monthly incentive checks be paid?
The monthly health care incentive payments will be issued directly to the employer of the eligible small group once the Office of Insurance has received proof of premium payment from the insurer. Checks are scheduled to be sent at the end of each month. Does the plan cover part-time employees or dependents? Employees who are eligible for coverage under an employer-sponsored health benefit plan are defined in the contract with the insurer. If part-time employees are included under the contract and the employer meets other eligibility requirements, the company will receive incentive payments for those workers. If covered under the contract, dependents could also receive health insurance but would not be eligible for a health care incentive payment. For purposes of participation in the ICARE program, an “eligible employee” cannot be someone who is 65 or older, is eligible for Medicare, or who does not meet eligibility as outlined in the contract between the employer and the insurer.
