During 2000, Mr. Frahm, as Ms. Frahm’s employer, issued to
Ms. Frahm certain checks that were drawn on a joint business
checking account (business checking account) that Mr. Frahm
maintained for the payment of expenses for, and the receipt of
income from, his farming business. Mr. Frahm issued those checks
to pay Ms. Frahm certain wages and to reimburse her for the
premiums for Mr. Frahm’s Wellmark Plan C policy, the premiums for
Ms. Frahm’s AARP policy, the premiums for Ms. Frahm’s Conseco
policy, and the noninsurance medical expenses that Ms. Frahm paid
during that year.10
On a date not disclosed by the record prior to February 1,
2001, Mr. Frahm decided to terminate the Wellmark Plan C policy
and completed a preprinted application form entitled “Application
for Individual Health Benefit Plans Blue Care, Secure Blue, and
Secure Blue Select” (Mr. Frahm’s Wellmark Secure Blue Select
application). In that application, Mr. Frahm applied to Wellmark
10The parties stipulated that Mr. Frahm issued to Ms. Frahm
certain checks included in the record that were drawn on the
business checking account as payment of her wages for 2000 and as
reimbursement for the insurance premiums and the noninsurance
medical expenses that she paid during that year. We have found
that during 2000 Ms. Frahm paid premiums of $6,252.60, and not
the $6,254 that the parties stipulated she paid, for Mr. Frahm’s
Wellmark Plan C policy. See supra note 4. We are unable to
ascertain from the record whether Mr. Frahm, as Ms. Frahm’s
employer, reimbursed Ms. Frahm for the $6,252.60 of premiums that
we have found she paid for Mr. Frahm’s Wellmark Plan C policy
during 2000 or whether he reimbursed her for the $6,253.60 of
premiums for that policy requested in Ms. Frahm’s 2000 employee
benefit expense form.
