You do not want to go without coverage for a period of 63 days or over if you want to be able to count your previous coverage with a certificate of creditable coverage from your previous health insurance company. You can avoid breaks in coverage by:
Continue your previous employers group health plan through COBRA.
Buying an individual health insurance policy if you think you will have a break of 63 days or longer.
Enrolling in a spouse's health plan.
Enrolling in your state's high-risk pools for people who cannot get health benefits.
