The way COBRA works is that they can just start giving you coverage whenever they feel like finally getting their act together?

- sjg007 9y agoNo, Cobra rules are all defined in Federal law. The OP could have gotten care at the time and asked the doctors to defer billing until the insurance resolved (or just submitted to the insurance company anyway and followed up later). If the doctor/hospital balks you can show them your Cobra paperwork to confirm it. But yes you have to pay the premiums.
- weka 9y agoIn retrospect this is probably what I should have done. edit: but the thing was, I trust them to give me good advice. The HR providers. I figured, well if they haven't said anything about deferred payments, it might not be applicable to my situation so I never brought it up...
