I want to move out of state, and I am actually thinking about quitting my job and starting over. How long will my insurance cover me before I must pay out of my pocket, and does it carry over like that? Does it depend on the company and the type of insurance I have? I have never done this before, so I am unsure.

It is hard for companies to take me seriously out of state, when I am looking for jobs......They are pretty much hiring people that are already in the area so I don't really know what to do. The area I want to live does not have facilities even close to where I want to move too for transfer. Or should I just look for the closest facility? Which would mean more than one move!!

I am nearing 50, single/no children with avg health so I am taking a huge risk relocating w/o anything, can anyone help? I have BC/BS right now.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Dear Mr.Patrick,

A software company I was working for earlier had taken medical insurance for myself and my family. The insurance was taken from Reliance. After I left the company I checked with HR as to whether I was entitled to medical insurance benefit till the end of the year. It was informed to me that the insurance coverage ceases once a person leaves the company. Later on I bought an medical insurance coverage by spending out of my pocket

I suggest you check with your HR person regarding this. The arrangement a company has with insurance company may differ from one company to another.

I would reccommend goint to the insuremation website and seeing if you can get a short term (6mos-1year) policy. COBRA is so freaking expensive, you just might find you can do it cheaper through insuremation..
