What does COBRA mean?

A federal continuation-coverage right that may let eligible people temporarily keep group health coverage after certain events.

Illustration — not a plan price

The election notice controls the deadline and premium terms; compare that notice with Marketplace options before choosing.

The actual plan document controls. Verify its definitions, network, exclusions, dates, and amounts before relying on the illustration.

Definitions here are never for sale — no plan is recommended on a comprehension page.
