In an effort to reduce plan expenses, Auburn University has retained the services of ContinuousHealth to help conduct a dependent eligibility audit for our health and dental insurance plans. The audit will begin in late January/early February 2013. An audit information packet will be sent out in January. In the interim, additional information regarding the audit may be found on our Dependent Eligibility Audit page.
