Full-time employees become eligible for health insurance the first of the month following sixteen (16) days of full-time employment. If you elect to enroll in group insurance, DESTIHL will pay for a portion of your monthly single coverage for any insurance plan offered by DESTIHL. Additionally, upon the occurrence of a qualifying change in status, eligible employees may make benefits election changes.
As detailed in the applicable company leave policies, when employees are on a leave of absence, the company maintains healthcare benefits for employees as required under applicable law and offers continuation coverage as required under applicable law.

Open enrollment (generally June 1st-30th of every year) is the period of time offered on an annual basis, allowing you to elect to enroll in any of our plans or make changes to your current health coverage. You are also able to add dependents that are not currently covered. This includes spouses and eligible dependent children to age 26 (30 military), who will be covered regardless of marital, student or employment status. If you do not enroll during open enrollment, you will not be able to enroll until the next open enrollment period (June of the next year), unless you would experience a qualifying event. Steve Leesman would be glad to assist you with any decisions or questions. Members or dependents eligible or participating in Medicare should check with Steve to determine any positive or negative impact to your health plan.

COBRA continuation coverage is a continuation of Plan coverage when it would otherwise end because of a life event. This is also called a “qualifying event.” Specific qualifying events are listed in our Employee Handbook. After a qualifying event, COBRA continuation coverage must be offered to each person who is a “qualified beneficiary.” You, your spouse, and your dependent children could become qualified beneficiaries if coverage under the Plan is lost because of the qualifying event. Under the Plan, qualified beneficiaries who elect COBRA continuation coverage must pay for COBRA continuation coverage. For more information, please contact our HR department.
You may have other options available to you when you lose group health coverage.
For example, you may be eligible to buy an individual plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace. By enrolling in coverage through the Marketplace, you may qualify for lower costs on your monthly premiums and lower out-of-pocket costs. Additionally, you may qualify for a 30-day special enrollment period for another group health plan for which you are eligible (such as a spouse’s plan), even if that plan generally doesn’t accept late enrollees. Some of these options may cost less than COBRA continuation coverage.
The right to COBRA continuation coverage was created by a federal law, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA). COBRA continuation coverage can become available to you and other family members when group health coverage would otherwise end. For more information about your rights under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), including COBRA, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and other laws affecting group health plans, contact the nearest Regional or District Office of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) in your area or visit www.dol.gov/ebsa. (Addresses and phone numbers of Regional and District EBSA Offices are available through EBSA’s website.) For more information about the Marketplace, visit www.HealthCare.gov.
