US COBRA benefits

I am "offboarding" this wonderful place in the US.

Of course, the links to the offboarding processes do not work or time out.

All I really care about is COBRA (they can take their surveys and shove them).

Has anyone that has recently ejected priced US High deductible family COBRA plans?

If so, what was the cost?

@rs If that is accurate, you have legal recourse. Contact an attorney ASAP.

@OP I left OT recently and still have not received any details about COBRA. Was I supposed to proactively seek that out from the HR black hole? I do know for single on high deductible it was 800 dollars a month. I did ask for that cost in January. Hope that helps with level set pricing

@be health care sharing ministries do not guarantee payment for members' health care and are not required by law to pay their members' claims for legitimate medical expenses

Under COBRA, you can keep the health insurance you already had through OT, but you pay the full price. When I left (in 2024) the full price was more than four times what was coming out of my paycheck while still there, but I don't know what the current pricing is like. If I recall correctly, you have 60 days to decide and if you sign up, it'll be retroactive. You don't have to decide today. The company is legally required to give you access.

If you have a spouse with health insurance, leaving your job should count as a qualifying event for getting added to your spouse's plan, which will very likely be less expensive. I don't know if it counts as a qualifying event for ACA. I don't know the timing requirements for either of those options.
