Preexisting coverage and gaps in coverage under COBRA
Article Abstract:
COBRA regulations regarding preexisting coverage and continuation coverage have caused confusion among employers, employees and the courts. The National Companies case decided that preexisting group health coverage can eliminate COBRA continuation coverage, employees can obtain COBRA continuation coverage if there is a gap between COBRA coverage and preexisting coverage and employers that provide inaccurate information to employees may be liable for damages.
