I made a payment, how come it’s not showing up on my bill?
If we received payment less than 10 days prior to the billing cycle, any payment made will not appear until the next billing cycle. If you have made a payment that is not appearing on your current bill, you may deduct that amount from the total and only submit payment for any additional premiums due. Otherwise any adjustments, including credits, will appear on the following month’s bill.
When an employee goes out on disability it is very important that the employee is not terminated. Our claims department will notify our billing department when to waive an employee’s benefits. Employees must remain active on the system in order for payment of benefits. Our claims department will also notify the billing department when an employee’s claim changes from a short term disability claim into a long term disability claim or if the employee has been approved for a life waiver. Any additional premiums received will be credited back to the group upon the approval of waivers.
Rehires are eligible for coverage. It is a LifeMap policy that if an employee is rehired within 6 months of their termination date, the employee’s benefits will be effective first of the month following the employee’s return to work. If the employee returns to work after 6 months, then the employee will be treated as a new hire and must serve the probationary period. When you have a rehire, please contact our office and a Billing Representative can update the system for you.
***There are groups that have contracted with LifeMap to have rehires re-serve their probationary period. If you are not certain how your contract reads, please contact our office at 1(888) 777-9368 and we can verify what is written in your group’s contract.
It is a LifeMap policy that if an employee is rehired within 6 months of their termination date, then the all employee’s benefits will be effective first of the month following the employee’s return to work. When you have a rehire, please contact our office and our Billing Representative can update the system for you.
Yes, any employee whose life coverage is terminating or reducing has the option to convert their coverage to an individual policy within 31 days of that date. The employee would need to begin the process by submitting a completed Conversion RFI Form to our partner, Gerber Life.
Also, depending on your group life contract with LifeMap, your employee may be eligible for portability of their group life insurance. Portability offers the employee the opportunity to continue their coverage under the group life policy through direct premium payments to LifeMap. Application for portability must be completed and returned to LifeMap within 31 days of the employee’s last date of coverage.
If you are uncertain about what type of continuation your group life policy offers, please contact our office at 1 (888) 777-9368.
If an employee is out of work due to FMLA rules, you are required to continue coverage and premium payment while FMLA is in force. Once the FLMA period had been exhausted, you may terminate the coverage and premium payment.
We require a written request from the member. You may submit the request on their behalf, although we do require the member’s signature. The request should include the employee’s full name, date of birth, date they would like the policy terminated, the group name and policy number and their signature.
Please submit a written request including the employee’s full name and new class information and LifeMap will make the change effective as of the day you request. This change will be reflected on the billing cycle following the updated information.
Premium payment is not required for Voluntary STD while an employee is out on claim. You may terminate the employee’s coverage while they are out on claim, then re-instate the coverage when the employee returns to work.
Group Life Insurance, unlike pension plans or 401Ks, does not require that the spouse waive their rights to life insurance proceeds.
The STD analyst will provide LTD forms to the employee when the analyst sees that the employee may be disabled beyond the end of the STD maximum benefit period. The employee must then file an LTD claim.
When it is determined that a deceased employee does not have a designated beneficiary for the group insurance, the Policy’s Facility of Payment provision is followed. While this provision may vary slightly from Policy to Policy, the provision allows the benefits to be paid in equal shares to surviving relatives of the highest rank.
