COBRA Premiums. Health insurance premiums that you pay out-of-pocket count as a deductible medical expense. COBRA premiums count as a deductible health insurance premium as long as you're paying the premiums yourself. If your employer is still subsidizing your premium, you can't deduct that portion. For example, say your premium would be $400 per month, but your employer subsidizes $50 of it so you only pay $350.
COBRA Premiums. COBRA is not an insurance company nor is it health insurance. COBRA is an abbreviation for a federal regulation that governs how and when a qualified beneficiary can continue terminated group health insurance coverage for a specified period of time by self-paying the premium.
