Where Do I Start With Blue Cross COBRA?
I lost my job and my insurance stopped. My employer’s letter to me said I can continue using my Blue Cross plan. How?
To start your COBRA plan with Blue Cross Blue Shield, you will need to respond to the paperwork your employer sent you. You have 60 days in which to elect the continuing coverage. After making your first premium payment the plan will restart. The COBRA plan administrator will send you information on the cost of coverage, how to pay your premium and who to contact with questions.
