Covered lives are similar to members owned by an insurance company: the people that the entity has been contracted for, and is (in some way) financially responsible for health care. The is a slight difference however: I am a member, but have a spouse and 2 kids, so we are 4 covered lives.

Are you liable for any unpaid copay charges on your 18.5 yr old stepson who lives with his girlfriend?

If you live in a state where an 18 year old is a legal adult then that adult is legally responsible for himself or herself. He or she is responsible for his own debts and liabilities. You are not liable for co-pays on his medical bills. If you are covering your adult child on your health insurance you are responsible to pay the premiums. If you choose not to cover your adult child on your health insurance plan you are not required to keep him or her covered under your plan. He or she is responsible to obtain their own health insurance plan if you choose not to put him on your plan. Most insurance plans will not place an adult child on your insurance plan if he or she is not attending school....and there can be restrictions on the amount of classes a student is taking to qualify to stay on your health insurance plan. Any adult child living in your home you are not legally responsible to provide health insurance, pay his or her bills or medical bills. You are even legally allowed to charge that adult child for expenses incurred by him or her.


Does insurance cover a permitted driver?

You need to read your policy carefully and talk with your agent. A permitted driver is usually covered. However, if the driver lives with you and you don't have them listed, they are not covered. If they are a regular driver and are not listed, they are not covered. If they have a suspended or revoked license, or if they have no license, you are not covered. It is best not to allow others to drive your car under any circumstances. If they have an accident, it is on your insurance, and the company will add them to your policy even if they cover them.


Is it better to get a annual physical on your old health plan or wait to get the physical on your new job's health plan In case they find anything wrong?

I think it's terrible that people even ask this kind of a question. Your health is YOUR concern and decisions shouldn't be left to insurance companies. In CA under AB 1672 employer groups between 2 - 49 employees are guaranteed issue and pre - existing condition clauses give you credit for the time that you were covered under a prior plan. So, insurance wise, it probably makes no difference. Take care of your health. Your the one who lives in your body, not the insurance company.
