How Do I Start COBRA with Kaiser Permanente?
My health plan stopped with Kaiser when I got divorced. I’m now being offered to continue coverage by Kaiser. Where do I begin?
After your work insurance ends, your employer or their third-party administrator will send you paperwork on how to enroll back into your group Kaiser Permanente health plan.
This is what is known as COBRA Insurance, it’s a continuation of the coverage you just had. You have 60 days to choose COBRA as your temporary health insurance until you start a new major medical plan.
