Your COBRA and Other Coverage Options

When you lose employer-sponsored health coverage due to a qualifying event (like job loss, reduction in hours, divorce, or a dependent aging out), COBRA allows you to continue that coverage for a limited time — usually 18 to 36 months. This can be a valuable safety net, especially if you’re in the middle of treatment or want to keep your existing providers.
 
But, did you know there are other options?
At Clarity Benefit Solutions, we want to make sure you have the resources and flexibility to choose what’s best for you and your family. As you decide whether to elect COBRA, consider the following:
  • Cost: You’ll pay the full premium (including the employer’s portion), plus a 2% admin fee
  • Coverage: COBRA gives you the exact same coverage you had while employed
  • Alternatives: You do have the ability to obtain health coverage outside of COBRA (see option 2)

Option 1: Continue Your COBRA Coverage

  • Access the same health coverage you had with your employer.
  • Register through the Clarity Portal to review plan details, costs, and enrollment steps.
  • COBRA keeps you on familiar coverage — but it can be expensive.

Option 2: Explore Private Health Insurance

  • Get personalized support in selecting a plan that fits your needs and budget.

Getting Started with Continuation of Coverage

COBRA or State Continuation gives you the right to continue your employer-sponsored health coverage after a qualifying life event. This section walks you through how to enroll, manage your coverage, make payments, etc.

Note: The Clarity Portal is the only way to access your continuation coverage. The Clarity Mobile App does not support Continuation of Coverage.
