Enrolling a Dependent
You must elect coverage for yourself in order to enroll a dependent. Dependent Only coverage is not available. If you plan to add a dependent to your coverage, make sure he or she is eligible for benefits. You must provide the required documentation within 45 days (60 days for newborns/adoptions) of submitting your dependent(s) for coverage. Once the required documentation is received and approved, the coverage for the dependent(s) will be effective retroactive to the benefits effective date. You will be responsible for any missed premiums between the benefits effective date and the date documentation is received and approved.
Double coverage is not permitted in the benefit plans. If you and your spouse or child work for Inova, your spouse or child cannot be covered as both a Team Member and a dependent. Also, you and your spouse cannot both claim your children as dependents.
If you have any questions regarding dependent verification, please contact the Inova Benefits Center.
Important reminders!
- Be sure to provide the necessary dependent information to enroll eligible family members.
- Make sure you’ve provided beneficiary information for your life insurance.
