COBRA Continuation Coverage Checklist
Election of COBRA coverage can be made through the COBRA Self-Enrollment portal in myBlue or by completing a COBRA election form and returning to BCBSMS within 60 days of the date coverage ended or the date of the notice, whichever is later.
The first premium payment must be made within 45 days from the date of election to continue coverage.
The first payment must include all premiums due for the coverage period beginning with the COBRA coverage effective date through the current month.
Qualified beneficiaries will have continuous coverage through the COBRA election period as long as the applicable premiums are paid. If the required premium payment is not received within the 45-day period, coverage will terminate retroactively to the date of the qualifying event.
