Find out when you and your dependents can receive a COBRA offer after your healthcare coverage is deactivated.
For the UnitedHealthcare® Gold PPO and Silver POS plans (NexusACO):
Once your coverage is terminated, UnitedHealthcare will generate and send a COBRA letter to your home address.
If you and your dependents are eligible, you can elect COBRA within 60 days form the date of your COBRA letter, and the payment must be remitted in full to the address provided in the letter. COBRA participants or “qualified beneficiaries” are not billed for their COBRA payment and must take responsibility to keep premium payments current. COBRA participants may generally stay on COBRA for up to 18 months from the date of a qualifying event that causes loss of coverage. A second qualifying event may allow extended COBRA coverage for up to 36 months. Qualifying events for COBRA are termination of employment, loss of coverage due to a reduction of hours, death of the employee, divorce or legal separation, change in status of a dependent, Medicare entitlement, retired employees, and employer bankruptcy.
