My employer is. We have what looks like a standard insurance package, but the bills are paid by the employer as managed by an insurance company. If hers is the same, it makes sense that even though she pays a monthly premium, the employer pays the bills on a pay as you go basis so rejecting bills for someone no longer employed makes sense.
