How can you continue getting insurance coverage for the pre-existing condition of terminal cancer after a divorce if the policy is in your husband's name?
the first way to do this is to obtain COBRA coverage. When your
divorce became final, your ex-spouse was able to drop your
coverage. Federal law is that all insureds can continue coverage
with COBRA. Your insurance company or ex-spouse's employer should
have sent you paperwork explaining what your rights are. But be
aware, with COBRA, you are paying the full premium for the
continued coverage.

Asked in Child Support, Medical Insurance, Chennai
Does your child have medical coverage after he graduates from college?
If your child is covered under your insurance while in college,
the coverage probably ends in the month that the child graduates.
You can probably purchase Cobra coverage at a higher rate until the
child buys his or her own coverage. You should check with your
insurance agent (or the actual policy if you have it) to be sure of
the ending date of your graduate's coverage.
Asked in Insurance, Medical Insurance
If you lose your job and primary health insurance but are also covered through your spouse's group plan are you still eligible for COBRA?
That would depend on if your spouse's coverage is group or
individual coverage. If it is group coverage offered by your
spouse's employer then NO. Cobra regulations specifically say that
you are not eligible if you have other employer sponsored group
coverage with one exception. That is if the other coverage includes
any pre-exisitng conditions clause that would deny you coverage for
that illness/injury. If you have no pre-existing conditions or the
pre-ex caluse does not relate to you (ie. pregnancy is a pre-ex but
you are not pregnant) then you are not eligible.
If the spouse's coverage is individual coverage and not group
you are still eligible for Cobra.
