Best Answer

Under most circumstances you can drop coverage at open enrollment. You can check with your benefits administrator to see if there are any qualifying events that may allow you to drop earlier. Also, in some circumstances you can not drop coverage even if you want to. Here in CA if the employer's health insurance contract calls for the employer to pay 100% of the employees premium the employee can not decline coverage. Very often you will see a contract written at 99% even though the employer actually pays all of it just for that reason.

Is your employer allowed to bill your health insurance for their mandatory drug test?

Yes, they can. Under federal law, an employer can require you to pay for the mandatory drug test. As long as having the employee pay does not have the effect of discouraging minority job applicants or lowering the employee's wage below the federal minimum, the employer can charge you for the test. Billing your health insurance is a form of billing you, even if your health insurance is from your employer.
