3766
. (a) The employer, or other person providing health insurance,
shall take steps to commence coverage, consistent with the order for
the health insurance coverage assignment, within 30 days after
service of the assignment order upon the obligor under Section 3764
unless the employer or other person providing health insurance
coverage receives an order issued pursuant to Section 3765 to quash
the health insurance coverage assignment. The employer, or the person
providing health insurance, shall commence coverage at the earliest
possible time and, if applicable, consistent with the group plan
enrollment rules.
(b) If the obligor has made a selection of health coverage prior
to the issuance of the court order, the selection shall not be
superseded unless the child to be enrolled in the plan will not be
provided benefits or coverage where the child resides or the court
order specifically directs other health coverage.
(c) If the obligor has not enrolled in an available health plan,
there is a choice of coverage, and the court has not ordered coverage
by a specific plan, the employer or other person providing health
insurance shall enroll the child in the plan that will provide
reasonable benefits or coverage where the child resides. If that
coverage is not available, the employer or other person providing
health insurance shall, within 20 days, return the assignment order
to the attorney or person initiating the assignment.
(d) If an assignment order is served on an employer or other
person providing health insurance and no coverage is available for
the supported child, the employer or other person shall, within 20
days, return the assignment to the attorney or person initiating the
assignment.
