Can you recommend a temporary health insurance while I look for a job when I move to a different state?
Your other option may have to be COBRA. If you have a group plan in your present employment, you may want to keep COBRA as temporary health insurance. COBRA coverage normally lasts up to 18 months. It is a good option especially if that family member has a pre-existing condition who may need medical assistance. However, even if you are still in your previous employer’s group health plan, you will most likely have to pay the premium. Generally, the premium is around $400 a month for single individuals and $800 for a family. Or it may be 102% of the amount that you and your company have been paying. But, even if COBRA is strongly recommended other than a temporary health insurance, problems may still arise as you are moving to a different state. Health insurance coverage may vary depending on the laws governing each state. You may also find it difficult to find an in-network healthcare provider covered in COBRA to your new location.
