When You Can Make Changes Under COBRA
As long as you notify FBMC, you may:
  • discontinue county medical coverage at any time, and retain your county dental and vision coverage (FBMC must receive your notification the month before you want the change to become effective);
  • discontinue county dental and vision coverage at any time, and retain county medical coverage (FBMC must receive your notification the month before you want the change to become effective);
  • discontinue coverage for yourself and your family members at any time (FBMC must receive your notification the month before you want the change to become effective);
  • add eligible family members to your health care coverage when a qualifying life event occurs (see "Changes You May Make After Qualifying Life Events" in "Participating in the Health Care Plans.");
  • change medical plans during annual open enrollment; and
  • change medical plans between annual open enrollments if:
    • you have a change in family status;
    • you or a covered dependent exhaust the lifetime maximum of your medical plan;
    • you move out of your current plan's coverage area and another county plan offers coverage in your new location.
