Legal Question in Insurance Law in Virginia

Health insurance

An employee is out of work due to a covered workers compensation claim. While she's been out, she has not been paying her portion of the employer-provided health insurance. No return to work in the near future. Can employer ask her to begin paying back premiums, or does she have a right to not pay anything in health insurance premiums for the time she's been out because employer hasn't alerted her to the situation until now?
