SPOUSAL CARVEOUT

In order to keep your premiums low, BrightView, LLC’s health plan will not cover an employee’s spouse if the spouse is offered coverage through his or her employer. Limiting spousal coverage to those who do not have other opportunities to obtain group coverage helps ensure that we can continue to offer you a quality health plan with small premiums.

An affidavit will be required to attest your spouse’s eligibility if spousal coverage is elected. Download a copy of the affidavit HERE
