Additional information

If your employment situation is changing and you’re involuntarily losing health insurance coverage, you may be eligible to purchase the UF insurance plan due to your circumstances. Your next steps might be confusing, so here are some things to consider:

  • Don’t delay your decision. A break in coverage of more than 60 days may prevent coverage for pre-existing conditions.
  • You must enroll in the UF insurance plan plan within 31 days of losing your other coverage.
  • The annual UF insurance plan premium may cost less than COBRA premiums; however, since coverage differs among health plans, both premium costs and benefit designs (including issues such as plan maximums, exclusions and limitations) are important factors to consider when comparing plans.
