What to do when Cobra ends
If you have exhausted COBRA, you have 60 days to apply for a guaranteed issue health plan. It is best to apply prior to expiration. Blue Shield is good about odd start dates and working with you. The links below are websites with a lot of great information about guaranteed issue plans. Of course if you have been without medical insurance for 6 months and have been denied for preexisting, the latest legislation is very relevant to you.
