Health insurance can be cheaper for married couples because they can often share a plan, which can be more cost-effective than individual plans.
Enrolling in a married couple health insurance plan can provide cost savings, streamlined coverage for both partners, and the ability to access a wider network of healthcare providers.
A spousal surcharge for health insurance is often implemented by employers to offset the additional cost of covering a spouse on the health insurance plan. This is done to manage expenses and encourage employees to consider other coverage options for their spouses if available.
For married couples, both spouses can contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA) if they are both covered by a high-deductible health plan. The total contribution amount for both spouses cannot exceed the annual limit set by the IRS.
You will have a choice between your employer's plan and your spouse's plan. Your employer may ask you for proof that you are covered by your spouse's plan. Your employer's plan will want this, in order to ensure that people are not dropping out for other reasons (such as they can't afford to join).

Yes, a spouse's health insurance company can drop coverage for a spouse if they are legally separated. Many insurance policies stipulate that coverage is contingent on the marital relationship being intact.

It's important for separated spouses to explore their options for individual health insurance coverage.
