COBRA is your right to continue your group coverage, regardless of the reason for termination. In some states, depending on the size of your group, employee terminations are not effective until the last day of the month, for health insurance enrollment purposes. You could have another week of coverage. I strongly suggest that you contact your Human Resources Department or Health Insurance Provider regarding this issue, and your HR manager about COBRA/State Continuation rights.

In some situations -- and it probably depends on whether or not you were fired for misconduct, and it may depend on whether the alleged misconduct was serious -- a person can continue their health benefits from their old job for a period of time under COBRA (it stands for Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reform Act) You would have to pay your own premiums and it can be very, very expensive. Whether or not you're eligible, I don't know but you could look up more info on it.
1. Call your human resources department at the company you were just fired from, TOMORROW, to ask about any termination paperwork relating to COBRA, or if you're eligible to continue your coverage under COBRA by paying your own premiums.
2. Go on Google and look up "COBRA" + "continuation coverage" to try to find more info about this.

that happened to me regarding a dental bill when i resigned. they originally would not pay for a dental emergency. what did i do? i saw them, and then i paid for the cobra insurance, which retroactively paid the claim, after the dentist argued with them, because then i was technically covered,because i payed the premium. for that time frame. but cobra may not cover you if you were fired for misconduct.

COBRA rules state that a person isn't eligible to continue their coverage if they're fired for "gross misconduct." So the misconduct doesn't meet the test unless it's SERIOUSLY bad -- for example, stealing from an employer or clients; drug or alcohol intoxication while on the job; bringing a firearm to work, etc. Misconduct that's not "gross" might include leave abuse; habitually arriving late to work, etc.

If you are ill and anticipate your doctor's visit and follow-up care will necessitate a great expenditure, by all means, elect COBRA. Be prepared, though: it's expensive because you'll be paying the entire fee, including the portion your employer used to pay, plus an "administrative fee" of up to 2%. If this is just a simple checkup, why pay hundreds of dollars for something that will cost you $75.?

If you truly need to know the termination date of your coverage, look in the booklet you received when you signed up for the plan. It should be explained there. If not, call the insurer. If there's any doubt, have your doctor file the claim and see if the insurer will pay it. But beware: the insurer may initially pay it, then retract the payment once its enrollment data is updated to show you had no coverage on that date. In that case, you'll be stuck with the bill PLUS have to deal with annoyed billing staff at your doctor's office.

If you want to know more about COBRA, you can read about it here: http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/faqs/faq_consumer_cobra.html

You should also call the insurance commissioner's office in the state where you worked and inquire whether there are state laws that permit you to continue your coverage.

Go see your doctor and see if the insurance co. will pay the claim. If not, you'll have to come up with the money.

Depends on your employer agreement with you. If they don't cover it and you are poor by means testing, you can go to your local medicaid office and show need and have the bill paid in many instances if you are a citizen.
