Who Manages COBRA?
Many small businesses will manage COBRA continuation through their Human Resources Department. Larger companies may work with third-party COBRA Administrators that include ADP, Discovery Benefits and WageWorks.
What Is COBRA?
COBRA is the name of a federal law and not a company with benefits specialists. COBRA coverage allows individuals to continue paying for their most recent employer health plan should that plan stop for (almost) any reason. After premium payments have been made, the previous health plan will be restarted.
When To Call
If you have pre-existing health conditions or visit the doctor frequently, you should call your former employer and ask for their COBRA Administrator. You may be able to keep the health insurance benefits you had. Keep in mind that you will also pay the full cost of coverage, which is typically $400 – $700 per person per month.
If you are in good health, consider an alternative to COBRA health insurance to cover new illnesses and accidents only.
