You would have recieved "retroactive" help from them after you paid the costs, and then were reimbursed.
You could have still used your COBRA coverage, and got the money back after the fact.
I know that is tough if you don't have the money to spend up front, but it's the reality.
You did verify with your doctor they would not have seen you being on COBRA? Some doctors bill you after the fact and you can submit the payments directly to your insurer.

: I left the school that I was working at in June '06 and continued to get paid through Aug 15, 06. I started calling before Aug to make sure that my cobra would go into effect as soon as possible. Today is October 12th and it is the first day that I am offically able to get my perscriptions and see doctors. I have needed daily medications and some dr. visits that I have not been able to get. I have already paid over $200 for coverage that I have not been able to benefit from and today I got a bill telling me that I owe another 400 from before. That is 600$ solely for continuation of coverage my my condition only worsened. I have not been able to find a job and I can not afford this. It would have been different if I was actually receiving any help from them within the two months that I have to pay the 600$ for. Any help would mean so much to me.
