Question

If I receive my coverage from my spouse’s employer, will I have minimum essential coverage?

Answer

Yes. Employer-sponsored coverage is generally minimum essential coverage. (See question 5 for information on specialized types of coverage that are not minimum essential coverage.) If an employee enrolls in employer-sponsored coverage that provides minimum value for himself and his family, the employee and all of the covered family members have minimum essential coverage.
