My wife got a new job, but she’s covered under my plan. shes thinking of joining the new employers health insurance plan 1. If she joins the new plan, do I have to take her out of my Deloitte plan from a legal perspective? If so, in how many days?
2. If I leave and join her plan, is that even possible in middle of year? What will happen to my FSA balance if I do that

You do not have to remove her from your insurance. When she goes to the doctor, her insurance will pay as primary and yours will pay as secondary.

like

No- her insurance would become primary, and yours secondary; which works great if the secondary insurance doesn’t have a deductible to satisfy first and/or someone on your plan has a lot of medical expenses.

like

1. Yes, if she is covered by her employer insurance then you remove her as your dependent.
2. Yes she can add you as a dependent mid year.
FSA stays with you wherever you go.

Depending on the type of FSA, it either expires at the end of the year or can carry over until funds run out.
As for double coverage, check how how will the primary insurance be recognized. Example, is it by the person’s birth date ( March vs. October bdate - not the year), length of coverage, etc. Also check to see if they will need to meet any deductible amounts on the 2ndary coverage. I worked for Medicare Part B and a medical company in my younger years.

Her starting a new job is considered a ‘life altering event’ which will trigger the ability for both of you to make changes. It’s like open enrollment but mid-year because of the event.

From a “legal” perspective, no. However, be aware that one or both carriers may deny claims because the other overlapping policy exists.

Just note that you usually have 30 days from your wife’s job change to make these decisions. I recommend you talk to HR/Benefits to understand options.

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
