What Is COBRA?
COBRA is a federal law. Not an insurance company or a particular plan. The term “COBRA insurance” refers to the same workplace health insurance you had, except the employer is no longer subsidizing a portion of it. You restart your work health insurance by responding to an election notification you will be sent. Expect the COBRA premium to be a similar cost of major medical insurance, which averages $400 – $700/month, per individual.
What Are The Steps To Get COBRA Insurance?
In simple terms, this is how COBRA insurance works:
- Your employer work health insurance ended due to a qualifying event
- Within 45 days of the qualifying event, the employer sends you an election notice to restart your workplace insurance
- Within 60 days of the election notice, you may choose to enroll back into your health plan where the coverage will pick up back up after making your first premium payment
- Your copays, coinsurance, deductibles, out-of-pocket expenses and insurance cards for the year stay the same
- You have 45 days to make your first COBRA premium payment
- The coverage is retroactive and any medical expenses you incur before the COBRA plan starts may be submitted for reimbursement
Employer Election Notice Of COBRA Must Be Sent Within 45 Days
Applying for COBRA continuation of previous health benefits begins with the employer who sponsored the insurance to notify you. The employer has 30 days to notify the group health plan of the qualifying event. After that, the employer has 14 days to notify you of your COBRA right to keep your work health insurance.
In total, the employer has 45 days to send the COBRA election notice to continue your health plan.
You Have 60 Days To Sign Up For COBRA
Once you receive your COBRA enrollment forms from your previous employer, you have 60 days to send back the election form. If you have questions regarding the application, you’ll want to reach out to the employer’s human resources department and ask for the COBRA Administrator.
Your COBRA coverage is retroactive to the date of your job loss (or when the former insurance would have ended). As long as you submit the enrollment papers and premium payments, there will not be a lapse or gap in your coverage. These legal rights are made possible by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, otherwise known as COBRA.
Temporary Health Insurance Solutions
If COBRA coverage is unavailable or if you simply can not afford it, you can get alternative health coverage for new illnesses or injuries.
Many people will enroll in Short-Term Medical insurance or an Accident Only plan to “get by” until their next major medical insurance starts. This type of insurance is also known as “gap insurance”.
These plans are not for everyone, but may be a good choice for you if:
- You have no pre-existing conditions.
- Want to stay insured at a lower cost.
- You are not pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant soon.
- Have had no recent health problems.
- Have not received any advice from medical professionals advising you to undergo a medical procedure in the future.
- When you need health insurance and it’s not yet a federal open enrollment period to enroll in a qualified health plan.
