I have heard of something called a Birthday rule to be applied on the health insurances that cover me, my wife and our kids. I would like to know more about that. Could anyone of you help me out ?

regards,
Andy

Wow, this post is getting just a bit strange.....LOL

As to the OPs question, here we go.

The Coordination of Benefits provision:

1. establishes the order of priority of payment if you are covered by more than one GROUP medical insurance plan. It does not coordinate individual plan; they have their own policy language for these situations.

2. states that the "birthday rule" (not birthday insurance) applies, and this means, as correctly stated by other replies, that the plan of the parent whose birthday falls earliest during the year would be the primary provider of coverage, with the other parent being the secondary, or "excess" provider. If the parent's birthday falls on the same day, whichever parent has been in their plan the longest would be primary.

3. IS provided for by statute in all states. It started initially from Wa. D.C. as a model that could be adopted by all carriers, and it has more or less become standardized throughout the country. Look to your individual state for tweaks on the federal language.

4. Keep in mind that if a family court required a particular parent to carry the coverage on the kids- the birthday rules can easily go out the window. The statutory language recognizes this, and if a court says that parent "X" will provide the primary coverage, then the insurer must comply.

There is more to this, but not much. It was initiated to take care of the confusion that occurred without the rule. It was really strange back in the day how coverage applied if you had more than one group policy, especially if you had a kid! Phew!

Hope this helps!

Actually, this is also the first time that I heard about birthday insurance. I try to search about it over the Internet and here's what I have found.

According to one blog:

Birthday Insurance,” a type of Life Insurance that sends grandchildren a birthday card and a check, for the rest of their lives after their grandparents passed away

My co-worker stated that if we were married and he had health insurance coverage and I had seperate health insurance covered (different employers), that the birthday rule would apply even to spouses.....not just the kids...I never heard of this, but he insisted that the borthday rules not only applies to children, but to spouses who have their oven single (EE only) coverage....Please explain. 08/18/2009 Thank you
