That it will be the same policy I currently have as his spouse or does it just mean I get the same rate and need to go out and find a new policy. Currently I am covered by United Healthcare. Also since we have dental, vision and healthcare do you know if COBRA covers carrying all three or just basic healthcare? I am not getting these answers from spouse. I know I should probably call UHC but at the moment with frantic packing I don't have time to spend several days in a phone cue......

I would simply call human resources of the company he works for. If that does not work, get your attorney involved. You should not have to have questions about healthcare!
Cobra you pay 100% of what the company pays for the insurance. So it could be quite expensive. If I could go on for 36 months, I might be in TV now!! Now my health plan includes vision but we have a separate plan for dental. I'll have to ask what happens with dental coverage when I go on cobra. I'll find out. I know how hectic it could be but health care and its cost is a very high priority for us. Good luck Suzanne!
