A CONSUMER’S GUIDE TO GETTING AND KEEPING HEALTH INSURANCE  California
Consumer Guide Locator

 

 

Cal-Cobra SB 719 California Continuation Benefits Replacement Act §10128.50 et seq.  §1366.2 provides that you can keep your prior Employer Group Medical Coverage when there is a qualifying event, like losing your job, regardless of if you were laid off or fired,  your child lost his student status or reached age 24 or you got  divorced,  for 18 months after Federal COBRA expires, even if you were an owner or partner of the company.

If you were with a small employer group (under 20 employees)  that was not covered by Federal COBRA.  Cal COBRA will provide  a total of 36 months of coverage underAB 1401 before you need to get HIPAA

 

Steve talks about Cal - COBRA

 

If you lost your job between 9/1/2008 and 12/31/2009 you might be able to get a 65% credit on your COBRA and CAL COBRA premiums under the Stimulus American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

We are unable to assist you in signing  up or applying  for  COBRA or CAL COBRA, unless your Employer is a client of ours.  You need to contact your former employer, or their Insurance Provider... Click here for the procedures.

 

Procedures to get Cal-COBRA or COBRA

Check the Insurance Companies Administrative Manual, here's one for Blue Cross.  Just go thru the table of contents or Index and find the proper section and forms.   The Insurance Company should then send you the paperwork to sign up.  In larger companies it may be the HR department,  the owner of the business or the person in charge of the Insurance.  If you have any problems, getting them to understand that you're entitled to COBRA or CAL COBRA just tell them to take a look at the Law, cited above.  If you're a client of ours, then we can get you the forms to complete and send to the Insurance Company, to notify them of a  qualifying event i.e, the employee no longer works there.   The Insurance Company, will then send an "offer" - notification of COBRA rights, premiums, etc. to the former employee or dependent.  If you want us to write the letter for you... that would be a $125 consultation fee.

AB 112 revises provisions relating to noncore coverage, such as dental or vision coverage.

At one time there was  Senior COBRA (allowed for terminated employees over age 60 to be covered until age 65 - Medicare eligibility) but that was eliminated under AB 254 effective 1/2005, except for those who already have it.
