What constitutes health care coverage and how will the employer know if an employee is covered?
For purposes of HC Contribution reporting, coverage includes Catamount Health plans, Medicare, Medicaid, the Vermont Health Access Plan (VHAP), or a private or employer-sponsored insurance plan that includes both hospital and physician services. In the case of a “seasonal” and “part-time” employee, who are not eligible for the employer’s plan, health care coverage EXCLUDES VHAP and Medicaid. Employers who offer to pay a portion of a health care plan must annually obtain a Declaration of Coverage from employees who are not enrolled in the plan the employer you provides.
