Full Version: COBRA required for examination only plan?

I have a client that has a group health plan that ONLY provides free medical examinations to eligible employees and retirees (no dependents). When redoing their SPD, I wanted to add COBRA language since the plan seems to fit the definition of IRC 213(d)(1)(A). The administrator said that they've never sent out a COBRA notice and doesn't want to include the info.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Sounds like COBRA would apply to me, provided that they are big enough. Did they provide any justification for why they think it doesn't?

Other than, "really? We never heard that before." Sometimes I wonder....
