Is it illegal for your last employer to not offer Cobra insurance? - cobra insurance

My last employer is not an insurance Cobra and I ended up in hospital for a week and now have 10k hispital in bills. Should I talk to a lawyer? Is not it a kind of right to provide this?

    Check to ensure you are with your insurance company to ensure that the policy can and should have been, "Cobra'd"

    Will be offered COBRA insurance was covered by the groups at the time of termination.
    Cobra insurance coverage is the same under the same rules in force at the time of termination, the only difference is that you pay your premium in full and not only by the employees, but in fact, what the employer pays for coverage.
    Apply for the status of the Cobra to an employer has 20 employees and more employees, see the following link for the Department of Labor


    Add Cobra Messages are sent directly from the insurance company, except to update your address, it is likely that their documentation was sent to an address update. You have to register only 60 days from the date of separation in COBRA coverage, and only once enrolled into consideration within 18 months of Cobra coverage.
    I would like Human Resources Photo Apartment his previous job, which has notified after 30 days, his right to Cobra and actions, you can call with retroactive effect immediately cover when they are not eligible forr coverage group, if you can pay the premiums.

    do indeed come from the insurance company itself, not the employer should. Company must offer COBRA coverage. I think there should be some kind of resources that ultimately a "he said, could be, she said," kind of things. Good luck

    There are conditions. Was that a full-time job and have no insurance with this job? If so, are committed to the opportunity to sign up for COBRA, which means that they still offer coverage of his age, but you have to pay the employer premium. If your employer does not provide group insurance, which should not offer COBRA. He was fired for cause? In some cases, an employer is exempted May of this commitment, if you were fired for theft, drug use, serious insubordination, including assault with a colleague or another heinous act. Anyway, if you pay no fees, is not affected ..

    There are exceptions, the laws of Cobra - for example, can your employer has been "self", but used a well-known insurance to manage the paperwork. In this case, the insurance is not their insurance company is not obligated to offer COBRA.

    Of course, it is worth looking again - but not too many illusions.

    If you really live in a place where poisonous snakes are a problem, should move, perhaps?
