If an employee covers a spouse or dependent child on Ohio State’s medical plan, they will receive an annual request for information about any other medical coverage they may have. The request is sent from Luminare Health, Ohio State’s claims administrator. A response is required, even if their dependent does not have other coverage.
If a spouse or dependent child are covered by more than one plan, the employee will be asked for additional information to determine which plan is primary to ensure accurate claim payments. This Request for Additional Coverage Information will be sent to employees in late January. Failure to respond with the information requested to Luminare Health will result in claim denials.
This request for information is separate from the required Dependent Eligibility Verification administered by Alight, which is needed when a spouse or dependent child is added to Ohio State’s health coverage.
Employees with questions about the coordination of benefits request can contact Luminare, 866-442-8257.
