Spouse's plan & COBRA together?

[yvonnehl]

Hi everyone,

I just got enrolled in my husband's employer group plan because my employment is gonna terminate soon. Now I consider also enrolling in my current employer's COBRA plan. Is that ok to have this kind of dual insurance?

I mean, is dual coverage legal when COBRA plan is involved?

I'm thinking of having both because I'm doing a tooth implant and either plan may just cover part of the cost.

Thank you in advance for your replies!

You can keep just the dental portion of cobra separately. Implant falls under dental, not medical insurance

Whether both dental plans pay out is based on other factors

Hi Yagents,

Yes I actually meant dental portion.

Thank you for your instant reply! Then I'll go ahead applying for COBRA dental.

I guess I need to check out COB provision.

But as far as my concern is addressed that it's legal to have both, that would be another question. Thank you again.
