Qualified Medical Child Support Orders (QMSCOs)

Earlier in 2023, the agencies released a new template for the National Medical Support Notice (NMSN), which state agencies are required to begin using by November 2023. When employers receive such notices requiring coverage to be made available to an employee’s child, the employer needs to follow Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO) procedures, but many employers are unfamiliar with these requirements. This webinar will provide an overview of QMCSO requirements, answer some of employers’ most frequently asked questions, and also walk through the changes and clarifications in the latest NMSN template.
