Coverage under COBRA

 

The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) allows you to temporarily continue coverage in Natus-sponsored health plans if you, or one of your covered dependents, lose coverage. Your Natus medical, dental and vision benefits stop on the last day of the month in which you are no longer benefits eligible. COBRA coverage begins the first day of the following month. A COBRA notification and enrollment package will be mailed to the address Natus has on file by Natus’ COBRA administrator. You have a 60-day period to elect COBRA; you pay your premiums to PlanSource directly. The following plans are covered under COBRA: 

  • Medical 

  • Dental 

  • Vision 

  • Mental Health through Spring Health 

  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) â€‹

  • Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
