Company has health insurance. Employee gives birth and is covered during 2007 but pt to remain in hospital new year for additiona days. Now Who pays the stay.?

Since the employee gave birth in 2007, their health insurance would typically cover the hospital stay during that year. However, if the hospital stay extends into 2008, the coverage may depend on the specific terms and conditions of the employee's health insurance plan. Some insurance plans may cover hospital stays that begin in one year and extend into the next, while others may have specific coverage limits or exclusions for stays that cross over into a new calendar year.

It's important for the employee to check with their insurance provider or human resources department to understand the specific coverage details and any potential cost-sharing responsibilities for the hospital stay that extends into 2008. They may need to contact the insurance company to discuss the situation and determine how the coverage applies. The insurance company may request additional information or documentation to verify the dates of the hospital stay and the medical necessity of the extended stay.

In some cases, the employee may be responsible for a portion of the costs for the hospital stay that occurs in 2008, such as copayments or coinsurance. If this is the case, the insurance company will provide information about the employee's financial responsibility and the process for paying any outstanding balances.
