Question:
Has anyone had any experience on whether Cobra/SRC co covers?

I'm not sure what SRC is, but do know about COBRA. COBRA is actually a name for a federal law that says that, if you are laid off, your employer has to allow you to stay in the same group plan you were in before the layoff, for up to 18 months. This is if you have no other insurance coverage. When my ex-husband was laid off, he was entitled to stay on his company's plan, but I had to drop out because I had insurance with my employer. Your former employer does not have to pay the premiums, and you may have to pay a small administrative fee, but they have to allow you to stay in the group. So, if your insurance covered WLS before you were laid off, it will still cover it.

I had to take Cobra coverage after my husband decided to change jobs.I was approved by UHC with his former company.I also had UHC with my company company and they denied my surgery.SO we kept Uhc benefits with my company for full family coverage and I had to continue coverage for myself only through his former employer.I paid $221.00 per month for my coverage for about 11 months,it was well worth every penny.....Self pay would have been much higher.Not sure what SRC means.I hope this helps...
