Just before you see the message stating that your spouse had a lapse in coverage, you should see the question, “What type of High Deductible Health Plan did [spouse] have on December 1, 2018?”. The choices are Family, Self only, or None.
If your spouse had been covered under your family plan, the answer should be None.
It is referring to what type of plan your spouse held in their name on December 1, 2018. If your spouse had their own separate HDHP on that date, then choose the type of plan that they had. If instead your spouse was covered under the plan in your name, then you should choose None.
