Latest Podcast Episode Explores COBRA

A lifeline for health coverage during job transitions

Nova is excited to release the newest episode of our educational podcast, Under the Coverage, which dives into the world of COBRA.

Leaving a job often means losing your employer-sponsored health insurance, a daunting prospect for many. However, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) offers a crucial safety net, allowing individuals to temporarily continue their health coverage during this transitional period.

In this episode, “COBRA: Bridging the Health Insurance Gap During Job Transitions,” Jerame DellaPenta, Nova’s director of service delivery and engagement, shares insights on eligibility, the enrollment process, maintaining coverage, and how to eventually cancel COBRA.

Whether you’re new to COBRA or have previous experience with it, this episode is an essential resource for anyone facing a job transition. Understanding how to effectively manage your health insurance during these times can make all the difference in maintaining your financial and physical well-being.

“There’s a lot to know, but this is super helpful to understand about COBRA because you don't want to need it,” said podcast host and Nova chief marketing and communications officer Sara Fluskey. “But there could certainly be circumstances where it could be really helpful and it's kind of that bridge in between the next phase of your life, whatever that is.” 

Don’t miss out on this comprehensive guide to COBRA. Tune in to “COBRA: Bridging the Health Insurance Gap During Job Transitions” and bridge the health insurance gap with ease.
