COBRA Administration

COBRA was designed to protect former employees and their dependents when they experience a loss of coverage under a group health plan. Congress enacted continuation of health care coverage requirements in 1985, called the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, commonly referred to as COBRA. Under COBRA, an employee receives continuation of health coverage that otherwise would have been terminated due to specific qualifying events. 

COBRA administration can be a complex process, with rules and regulations changing constantly. Making it even worse, virtually every aspect of COBRA is time-sensitive, so prompt and compliant actions are very important. Keystone Flex takes the worry out of COBRA administration by taking the administrative burden off of you, the employer.
