Check about COBRA coverage and see if it's something you can have until your new policy takes effect. COBRA is kind of a gap insurance so if you lose your job, you have a short period of time to keep the coverage until you can do something else. Unfortunately, the cost is usually more than we can afford because of a job change or loss. If you have coverage where your company pays part of your monthly premium, once you go to COBRA, you have to pay the full amount since your company will no longer pay their part. Kind of *****. Good Luck anyway... Each company has it’s own waiting period. Check about COBRA coverage and see if it’s something you can have until your new policy takes effect.
