Why can't i stay on my employers health insurance when i turn 65?

It depends where you live. Some employers do not provide insurance. In some countries if you are working after you are 65 or your spouse is working, you will be entitled for health insurance from employer. You will be eligible for Medicare even if you continue to work after you turn 65. It is important that you decide whether or not to enroll for medicare. You may not need all of Medicare benefits if you are still covered under your employer's plan. You can delay certain parts of Medicare, and get them later on when you retire, or if you lose your employer's insurance. You should make these decisions at least 3 months before your 65th birthday.

Where can one find student insurance?

If a student is on their parents insurance they should stay on it as long as possible. However, the student's parents should check with their policy as to what benefits are available if the student does not stay in the local area. When a parent's insurance policy is not an option one can check with the school they plan to attend. Most schools offer student insurance. Another option would be for the student to purchase their own health insurance policy.


What happens to your medical insurance if you lose your job?

If you are covered by your employer and you leave your job or lose your job, your employer must offer you COBRA, which is a continuation of your medical benefits. Normally, you can stay on a COBRA plan for up to 36 months. Once you are no longer employed by your company, the medical benefits contributions will no longer apply, meaning you will have to pay the full cost of medical insurance yourself to the medical plan. The cost per month can vary, but will be clearly listed on your COBRA letter which outlines this service. You will receive your COBRA letter shortly after your last day of employment. If your employer has fewer then 20 employees, the US Labor Department will not enforce COBRA. If your employer does nothing, you are out of luck.


What is supplemental life insurance?

Portable supplemental life insurance is any individual life insurance policy that is not taken through an employer group. The employer provided life insurance coverage will be lost as soon as you change jobs, get laid off, fired or if you quit, while the individual life insurance policies will continue to stay in force regardless of your employment situation (providing you are paying the premiums on time).

What should you do if you have BC-BS insurance and you're 20 and in college and it drops when you're 22 and you have an autoimmune disease and is there a way you can stay under it?

If it drops when you turn 22, having an autoimmune disease doesn't change that, but you may be eligible for COBRA or HIPAA for an extended amount of time. It may be wise to try to enroll in an employer group health plan and not have any gaps in coverage so it won't be considered a pre-existing condition.
