Cobra coverage??

[Brownpants80]

We added my wife and kids to the insurance plan. Not sure If they will accept because it's not open enrollment, I was just informed wrong and was told it had to be my year mark I could add my family. Which was untrue. Anyway we sent it in, they then sent a letter to my wife about cobra coverage. What does this mean? I'm taking it they aren't under team care at the moment but maybe kicked this cobra insurance in for them until open enrollment? All the letter is, is about what cobra is and says that "you are covered as an individual under group plan teamcare" and cobra cobra is a continuation of coverage when you would otherwise lose group coverage"

Grab the nearest steward and ask them, and couldn’t hurt to ask someone in your bldg.

You are going to get a million different answers here because it depends on your region also ( I think).

 

[Brownpants80]

Thanks. I think I'm gonna try calling again.

Getting answers is like pulling teeth with these reps.

Call your business agent not your local rep. Most drivers have no clue about healthcare changes. They change things all the time. How old is your wife?

Stallone was a better Cobra.

Cobra insurance is SPENDY!!!!! You would be better off money wise getting insurance through an insurance agent--but don't take my word for it. I've been out of the game for too long. Check it all out before signing anything

Sounds like they are offering Cobra payments because she can't enroll yet.

Yup. Had cobra for either 6 months a year at a job I quit a long time ago. I believe it was $400 a month.

I'm pretty sure Teamcare Cobra is ALOT more than that.

I'm pretty sure Teamcare Cobra is ALOT more than that.

This is going back 10-12 years. Definitely more expensive now

My daughter just turned 26. They said she could pay Cobra of $415 a WEEK to keep her on Teamcare! Luckily she has a job that provides insurance.

My daughter did also and I vaguely remember it being something like that. Crazy.

I think they quoted me $1200 or $1400 a month

Looks like $415 a week------that makes my estimate of $1400 a month (years ago) look right on track.
