Letâs say you have $125 taken from each paycheck for health insurance. You get paid twice per month, so your portion of the monthly premiums is $250. Your employer contributes $300 per month toward your health insurance premiums, so the total cost of your job-based health plan is $550 per month. To figure the 2% service charge, multiply that $550 monthly premium by 0.02. Youâll get $11. Add this $11 service charge the $550 premium cost and your COBRA health insurance cost will be $561 per month.
This is usually for 18 months but may last up to 36 months. COBRA coverage can be expensive and costs more than what you were paying for health coverage before your employment ended. How Medicare and COBRA work together depends on which type of coverage you have first.If you have Medicare first and then become eligible for COBRA, you can have both Medicare and COBRA.f you have COBRA first and then become eligible for Medicare, your COBRA coverage may end. Since you will not be fully covered with COBRA you should enroll in Medicare Part A and Part B when you are first eligible to avoid a late enrollment penalty.
