Coverage Maintenance for COBRA Participants

It is important that an enrollee's address be kept up to date to ensure that he receives all communications regarding health insurance coverage. Updates and coverage changes should be submitted directly to BCBSMS.

Each October during the annual open enrollment period, a COBRA participant may choose to elect coverage for his eligible dependent(s). The coverage elected during open enrollment takes effect January 1 of the following calendar year. A COBRA participant may choose either Base Coverage or Select Coverage during open enrollment.
