becomes entitled to Medicare

When a Qualified Beneficiary becomes entitled to Medicare before electing COBRA, do we still have to offer them COBRA coverage?

COBRA cannot be withheld simply because of Medicare entitlement. In that situation, the employee should be offered the option to continue coverage under COBRA.

My Cobra Ins. is ending 07/31/11. Ill need health Ins. for an additional seven months before medicare. Can Cobra be extended if live in NH and the Blue Cross (Cobra)is from a company in MA.?

Angus:

Entitlement in Medicare Part B is automatic if the individual enrolls in Medicare Part A, lives in the United States, and does not decline the automatic enrollment that occurs at the time that they enroll in Medicare Part A.

The insurer location means little. If the corporation has employees or offices in NH, then you would have no problem getting the extension. As long as you do not move out of the coverage area.
