Re: post op and no one will insure me

October 13, 2001

Renae,

Did you COABRA just expire. I believe you have the right to convert

this to an indivdual policy with the same insurance company. The

coverage may not be as good, and the price high, but it might be

worth it. Alternatively, see if you can somehow get into a group and

get a group policy.

Good Luck,

Hull
