Affordable Health Insurance in Pennsylvania
Overview
Losing your job can be stressful, especially if it means losing your employer-sponsored health insurance. Fortunately, if you find yourself in this situation in Pennsylvania, a conversion plan can offer an affordable alternative.
Conversion Coverage
Conversion coverage allows you to secure individual health insurance from the same company that provided your previous group plan through your employer. If you had this group coverage for at least three months, you qualify for conversion health coverage. While you will need to cover the full premiums previously subsidized by your employer, you cannot be denied coverage due to pre-existing conditions.
Who is Covered?
Conversion plans offer coverage not just for you but also for any dependents included in your previous group policy. This includes your spouse, even if divorced, and your children.
Eligibility Criteria
You won’t qualify for conversion coverage if you’re eligible for similar health insurance from another group plan or government programs like Medicare. Additionally, if you’re eligible for Federal COBRA coverage, you generally need to exhaust that first.
Application Process
Once unemployed, you must be informed of your rights regarding conversion plans. You have 31 days from notification to apply. If you haven’t been informed, reach out to your employer, the insurance company, or the Pennsylvania Insurance Department to ensure you don't miss your window of opportunity.
With conversion coverage, you can maintain peace of mind knowing that your health insurance needs are addressed even during transitional periods in your life.
