Is there a lapse of coverage when you change employers?

If you have coverage through your "old" employer then you quit to work with a different employer your coverage with your "old" employer will be terminated unless you pay COBRA payments (which is usually about 50% higher than what you pay now) If your new employer offers health insurance and there is no waiting period then you would not need COBRA. Most cases there is a waiting period for new employees, this is set up by the employer. As long as you do not go more than 63 days without coverage you will be fine if you do not need medical attention. There is a way you can kind of play the "game". You get like 45 days to pay your COBRA payment - so let's say you have a waiting period with your new employer and it's 90 days then you could hold off on paying your COBRA payment for about 35 days and then if something happens or you feel you will need coverage you pay the COBRA. You would need to pay the first payment anyway so that you wouldn't go over the 63 day rule. But then the 2nd month again, you will have 45 days to pay the COBRA premium maybe you don't need insurance and you are closer to that 90 day wait time being up. Just be careful - don't be late on your COBRA payment because they are not very forgiving for that. Sometimes you can get an indivial plan but make sure that will count as credible coverage. I wouldn't waste your time or money with a temporary policy because if you could get an individual plan - you can cancel it at any time usually you have them for a complete month. I hope this helps.
