Is it legal for a company to refuse to allow you to enroll in their medical insurance simply because you are listed under a spouses insurance plan as well?

If your company pays the premiums themselves for employee health insurance, it is understandable why they would refuse to cover you. This is an extra cost for them and you are already insured. You could ask them if you yourself could pay for the coverage. Why would you want to be covered under two health plans anyway? If the coverage on one plan is better than the other, then go on the better one, and drop the other. No, and I would go after them. They have to extend the same insurance benefits to all employees, regardless of marital status. It's really none of their business if you are ensured elsewhere or not. There is no reason why married women should have to pay for medical coverage and oh, say, single or married men get it free. Get on the phone to the EEOC and/or an attorney. PS, to previous poster. It's so unusual for US employers to pay 100% of medical coverage, I'm not even going to address it.

A Group Medical Insurance Plan is an Excellent Way to Obtain Medical Insurance Coverage?
One way to obtain medical insurance is via a medical insurance plan that is provided by an employer. Sometimes group medical insurance plans are free for the employees, and occasionally for the spouses of the employees, and there are many employers who offer medical insurance plans to their employees at discounted rates. A person who is looking for a job needs to find out if the company provides any benefits, including a medical insurance plan, for its employees. This is an excellent way to obtain medical insurance. A group insurance plan offered by a company costs less and often provides better coverage.

Can your husbands company force you to take insurance coverage from your employer?

Can an employer make you take health insurance if you already have insurance with your spouse?
If the company that you work for offers a health plan, but you need to pay for part of it. Then no, you do not have to sign up or pay for it. If your spouses plan is cheaper, which in most cases they are not, look into it. I find that companies that require their employees to share in the cost of their health care, do it anyways because it's cheaper than their spouses. One company I know has their employees pay 50% of the cost, but it's still cheaper than most spouses. Watch out if you smoke, you might be put it another bracket by yourself and other that smoke. THIS IS ILLEGAL.
Can you cancel your spouse's health insurance during a separation in Maryland?
That would not be a very nice thing to do, what you should do is write to your spouse and the insurance company, point out that you are now separated and indicating that you will no longer be paying for your spouses insurance after a fixed date in the future. This informs the insurance company of your intentions and allows your ex spouse to arrange their own health insurance.
