COBRA

COBRA is complex. We’ve got you covered.

The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) of 1985 requires most companies that sponsor group health plans to offer their health plan participants and the participants’ families a temporary extension of health coverage in certain instances where coverage would otherwise end. While COBRA is a complex law with many intricacies, our administration helps employers meet the necessary COBRA requirements and helps COBRA qualified beneficiaries have a smooth transition of their health care coverage.

Reporting

Our COBRA reports go beyond what other administrators offer and give employers the information they need in a way that’s easy to understand. We have designed our COBRA reports to help employers manage their qualified beneficiaries, oversee premium billing activity, and complete their federally required reporting.

Blanket Notifications

We also offer blanket notifications. With blanket notifications, we send initial notices to every individual a client currently has enrolled in any of their group health plans. This helps bring the company into compliance with initial notice requirements.
