Who is Eligible and When: An employee who regularly works thirty (30) or more hours per week will be eligible to enroll in these Benefits. If you are a new hire, you are eligible for benefits the 1st day of the month following 60 days. Your deadline to elect benefits is the 15th of the month prior to the effective date. An Eligible Dependent is a covered employee's spouse and dependent child/ren, until the end of the month in which the child/ren attains the age twenty-six (26). The term “Dependent Child” shall mean a Covered Employee’s natural born son or daughter; stepson or stepdaughter; legally adopted child (from the date of placement with the employee for the purpose of legal adoption); or a child for whom the employee is the legal guardian (coverage will remain in effect until the date the child no longer meets the age and support and maintenance requirements of an Eligible Dependent under the terms of this Plan, regardless of whether or not such child has attained age 18 (or any other applicable age of emancipation of minors) and therefore the employee is no longer considered such child’s Legal Guardian). The term “legal guardian” means a person recognized by a court of law as having the duty of taking care of the person and managing the property and rights of an individual that is placed with such person by judgment, decree, or other order of any court of competent jurisdiction. When You or Your Dependents are no Longer Eligible for Benefits: If you are an Employee, you and/or your covered dependents will be qualified beneficiaries for COBRA if you lose your coverage under the Plan if any of the following qualifying events occur: • Your hours of employment are reduced below 30 hours; or • Your employment ends for any reason other than your gross misconduct; or • Employee dies; or • Employee enrolls in Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both); or • Employee becomes divorced or legally separated; or • The child stops being eligible for coverage under the Plan as a “dependent child” Important Notice – Special Enrollment Requirements: If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because you have other health insurance or group health plan coverage, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage. However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after you or your dependents’ other coverage ends. In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents. However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption. Please contact your Human Resources department within 10 days. Failure to do so will result in no change in coverage until open enrollment. Eligibility 4
J-Kraft, Inc. will offer four medical options through BlueCross BlueShield of Texas. Two HMO plans and two PPO plans. You’ll find that the BlueCross BlueShield of Texas health plans offer so much more than coverage for just basic medical needs. You will be able to: • Call customer service 24 hours a day, seven days a week and talk to a live representative at 1-800-521-2227 • Get prescriptions filled at one of more than 57,000 national and local pharmacies • Take steps to maintain good health with annual wellness checkups and screenings and other preventive care measures that are covered in-network at no additional cost to you • Have access to Emergency Care 24 hours a day, in- or out-of-network All four plans provide coverage for medical care, including visits to your doctor’s office, hospital stays, mental health and substance abuse services, chiropractic treatment, physical therapy, and other services. For some services, you pay a deductible then a percentage of the cost (coinsurance), while for other services you pay a predetermined fee (copay) and the health plan pays the negotiated balance. Once you reach an annual limit on your payments (out-of-pocket maximum), the health plan pays your covered health care costs at 100%. If you elect either one of the two Base or Buy-Up HMO plans, you must select an in-network primary care physician to help guide and direct your care, and you will require a referral to see a specialist. If you elect the Base HMO plan, please select from the Blue Advantage network selection of licensed health professionals; there are no out of network benefits. With the Buy-Up HMO plan, you will need to select from the Blue Essentials network selection of licensed health professionals; there are no out of network benefits. If you elect either one the two Basic or Buy-UP PPO plans, you will be able to see any licensed health care processional, either in or out-of-network, but your cost will be lowest when you use a contracted BlueCross BlueShield healthcare provider. When contacting providers directly to see if they will accept your insurance plan, you will need to verify that they are in your network to ensure that you avoid any unnecessary out-of-pocket expenses. It is also recommended you present your BlueCross BlueShield Insurance ID Card at the time of service, when visiting a Provider, you have not seen before. Employees who enroll in one of the medical plan options will have additional access to physicians, by way of virtual visits. BlueCross BlueShield has partnered with MD LIVE to provide access for non-emergency medical issues. You will have access to board-certified physicians 24 hours a day, whether you’re at home, at work or traveling. Additional information on the Virtual Visit program is included in this guide. For their Pharmacy Program, BlueCross BlueShield of Texas utilizes Prime Therapeutics, LLC as their pharmacy benefit manager. Prime Therapeutics, LLC administers certain core services, such as developing and maintaining the drug formulary and contracting with pharmacy networks, which help to contain rising drug costs and maintain and improve the quality of care delivered to members. Please ensure that you’ve reviewed your plan options, and verified your physician’s availability, before making your final decision. Medical 5
Annual Physicals and Preventive Care: One of the benefits of Health Care Reform is that when the primary purpose of your visit is for preventive care you will not have a charge. Preventive Care Physicals are covered under the group health plans at 100% so your annual physical, routine gynecological visits, and well-child exams, are free of charge if you see a contracted provider. This means no copayment, no coinsurance, and you will not have to first meet your deductible, when using an in-network provider. Important: Services will not be considered preventive and WILL NOT BE COVERED at 100% if they are part of a visit to diagnose, monitor or treat an already existing symptom, illness or injury; or if you utilize an out-of-network provider and/or facility for part of the visit or tests. If you discuss existing symptoms or issues during your preventive visit, the physician might file the claim as diagnostic services, resulting in your having out-of-pocket cost. To help you make sure that your preventive visit is covered at 100% we have provided the following tips which you may use when scheduling your next preventive care visit and/or while you are at the physician’s office. Preventive Care Tips: 1. When you schedule your appointment, explain that you are coming in for your annual preventive carephysical and that it should be covered at 100% by your insurance. Remember, not all screenings andtests are considered medically necessary, and some have age limits before they are recommended aspreventive care and covered at 100%.2. Members are allowed one preventive annual physical based on the calendar year.3. While at your visit, if you mention to your physician that you are experiencing specific symptoms orissues, the purpose of your visit could change from preventive to one for diagnosing a symptom and/orillness. You may need to schedule a separate appointment for symptoms you are already experiencingto ensure the testing during your annual physical is coded as preventive care and covered at 100%. DONOT ignore current symptoms or issues. Schedule your follow-up appointment as soon as possible.4. Confirm that your physician is in-network with the health plan.5. If the physician sends you to a separate facility to have a preventive procedure or test performed,make sure that the facility is in-network and always ask them if the procedure will be covered at 100%.Ensure that the laboratory being used for blood work is also in network with the health plan – DO NOTassume that since it is in the physician’s office that it is also in-network.Preventive Care6

NOTICE OF RIGHTS UNDER THE WOMEN’S HEALTH AND CANCER RIGHTS ACT (WHCRA) Do you know that your plan, as required by the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998, provides benefits for mastectomy-related services including all stages of reconstruction and surgery to achieve symmetry between the breasts, prostheses, and complications resulting from a mastectomy, including lymphedema? Contact your Employer Representative for more information. If you have had or are going to have a mastectomy, you may be entitled to certain benefits, under the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 (WHCRA). For individuals receiving mastectomy-related benefits, coverage will be provided in a manner determined in consultation with the attending physician and the patient, for: • All stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was performed; • Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance; • Prostheses; and • Treatment of physical complications of the mastectomy, including lymphedemas. These benefits will be provided subject to the same deductible and co-insurance particulars that are applicable to other medical and surgical benefits provided under this Plan. J-Kraft Inc. has provided the detailed information regarding deductible and co-insurance for the J-Kraft Inc. Group Health Plan. For more information or to get a copy of the Summary Plan Description containing these details contact your Employer Representative. 36
PATIENT PROTECTION CHOICE OF PROVIDERS In cases where the J-Kraft Inc. Group Health Plan allows or required a participant to designate a primary care provider, the participant has the right to designate any primary care provider who participates in the network and who is available to accept the participant or participant’s family members. Until you make this designation, J-Kraft Inc. Group Health may designate a primary care provider automatically. For information on how to select a primary care provider, and for a list of the participating primary care providers, you can contact your Employer Representative. For children, you may designate a pediatrician as the primary care provider. You do not need prior authorization from the J-Kraft Inc. Group Health Plan or from any other person (including a primary care provider) in order to obtain access to obstetrical or gynecological care from a health care professional in our network who specializes in obstetrics or gynecology. The health care professional, however, may be required to comply with certain procedures, including obtaining prior authorization for certain services, following a pre-approved treatment plan, or procedures for making referrals. For a list of participating health care professionals who specialize in obstetrics or gynecology, contact your Employer Representative. HIPAA SPECIAL ENROLLMENT RIGHTS NOTICE If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance or group health plan coverage, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing toward your or your dependents’ other coverage). However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after you or your dependents’ other coverage ends (or after the employer stops contributing toward the other coverage). In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents. However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption. To request special enrollment or obtain more information, contact your Employer Representative. 37
Premium Assistance Under Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) If you or your children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP and you’re eligible for health coverage from your employer, your state may have a premium assistance program that can help pay for coverage, using funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs. If you or your children aren’t eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you won’t be eligible for these premium assistance programs but you may be able to buy individual insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. For more information, visit www.healthcare.gov. If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed below, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office to find out if premium assistance is available. If you or your dependents are NOT currently enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, and you think you or any of your dependents might be eligible for either of these programs, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial 1-877-KIDS NOW or www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, ask your state if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan. If you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, as well as eligible under your employer plan, your employer must allow you to enroll in your employer plan if you aren’t already enrolled. This is called a “special enrollment” opportunity, and you must request coverage within 60 days of being determined eligible for premium assistance. If you have questions about enrolling in your employer plan, contact the Department of Labor at www.askebsa.dol.gov or call 1-866-444-EBSA (3272). If you live in one of the following states, you may be eligible for assistance paying your employer health plan premiums. The following list of states is current as of July 31, 2023.

Important Notice from J-Kraft, Inc., about your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with J-Kraft Inc. and about your options under Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to join a Medicare drug plan. If you are considering joining, you should compare your current coverage, including which drugs are covered and at what cost, with the coverage and costs of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. Information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage can be found at the end of this notice. There are two important things you need to know about your current coverage and Medicare’s prescription drug coverage: 1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get this coverage if you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare drug plans provide at least a minimum level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium. 2. J-Kraft Inc. has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by BCBS of TX (BCBSTX) is, on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage pays and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage. Because your existing coverage is Creditable Coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you later decide to join a Medicare drug plan. Read this notice carefully. It explains the options you have under Medicare prescription drug coverage, and it can help you decide whether or not you want to enroll when you become Medicare eligible. When Can You Join A Medicare Drug Plan? You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare and each year from October 15th through December 7th. However, if you lose your current creditable prescription drug coverage, through no fault of your own, you will also be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan. What Happens To Your Current Coverage If You Decide to Join A Medicare Drug Plan? If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan your current J-Kraft Inc. coverage will not be affected. When you elect for Medicare Part D you can keep the prescription drug coverage offered by J-Kraft Inc. through BCBSTX and this plan will coordinate with Medicare Part D. The table below outlines how prescription drug coverage will be provided. If you are NOT Medicare-eligible and enrolled in one of these options You currently get your prescriptions filled….. You CAN NOT enroll in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan • PPO • HMO • EPO at retail pharmacies using the retail pharmacy network or via mail order ….you are not eligible to enroll in Medicare Prescription Drug Plan – Nothing Changes. If you ARE Medicare eligible and enrolled in one of these options You currently get your prescriptions filled…. You do NOT have to enroll in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan • PPO • HMO • EPO at retail pharmacies using the retail pharmacy network or via mail order …you will continue using the retail pharmacy network or the mail order program – Nothing Changes If you do decide to enroll in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan when you become Medicare-eligible, and you waive coverage under the J-Kraft Inc. Medical Benefit Program, you may re-enroll in the J-Kraft Inc. Medical Benefit Plan during any J-Kraft Inc. Annual Enrollment period, or within 31 days of any Qualified Change in Status. 42
When Will You Pay A Higher Premium (Penalty) To Join A Medicare Drug Plan? You should also know that if you drop or lose your current coverage with J-Kraft Inc. and don’t join a Medicare drug plan within 63 continuous days after your current coverage ends, you may pay a higher premium (a penalty) to join a Medicare drug plan later. If you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium may go up by at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage, your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to pay this higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to join. For More Information About This Notice Or Your Current Prescription Drug Coverage… Contact the person listed below for further information. NOTE: You’ll get this notice each year. You will also get it before the next period you can join a Medicare drug plan, and if this coverage through J-Kraft Inc. changes. You also may request a copy of this notice at any time. For More Information About Your Options Under Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage… More detailed information about Medicare plans that offer prescription drug coverage is in the “Medicare & You” handbook. You’ll get a copy of the handbook in the mail every year from Medicare. You may also be contacted directly by Medicare drug plans. For more information about Medicare prescription drug coverage: • Visit www.medicare.gov • Call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see the inside back cover of your copy of the “Medicare & You” handbook for their telephone number) for personalized help • Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048. If you have limited income and resources, extra help paying for Medicare prescription drug coverage is available. For information about this extra help, visit Social Security on the web at www.socialsecurity.gov, or call them at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778). Remember: Keep this Creditable Coverage notice. If you decide to join one of the Medicare drug plans, you may be required to provide a copy of this notice when you join to show whether or not you have maintained creditable coverage and, therefore, whether or not you are required to pay a higher premium (a penalty) Date: September 11, 2023 Name of Entity/Sender: J-Kraft Inc.

PATIENT PROTECTIONS AGAINST SURPRISE MEDICAL BILLS What is “balance billing” (sometimes called “surprise billing”)? When you see a doctor or other health care provider, you may owe certain out-of-pocket costs, such as a copayment, coinsurance, and/or a deductible. You may have other costs or have to pay the entire bill if you see a provider or visit a health care facility that isn’t in your health plan’s network. “Out-of-network” describes providers and facilities that haven’t signed a contract with your health plan. Out-of-network providers may be permitted to bill you for the difference between what your plan agreed to pay and the full amount charged for a service. This is called “balance billing”. This amount is likely more than in-network costs for the same service and might not count toward your annual out-of-pocket limit. “Surprise billing” is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you can’t control who is involved in your care – like when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an in-network facility but are unexpectedly treated by an out-of-network provider. You are protected from balance billing for: Emergency services If you have an emergency medical condition and get emergency services from an out-of-network provider or facility, the most the provider or facility may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount (such as copayments and coinsurance). You can’t be balanced billed for these emergency services. This includes services you may get after you’re in stable condition, unless you give written consent and give up your protections not to be balanced billed for these post-stabilization services. There are some states that have surprise bill or balance billing laws. These laws apply to fully insured plans and may impact self-funded plans, including state or municipal government plans and church group plans. Please check with your plan administrator and/or insurance certificate/booklet to see if state law applies to your coverage. Certain services at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center When you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers can’t balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections not to be balance billed. If you get other services at these in-network facilities, out-of-network providers can’t balance bill you, unless you give written consent and give up your protections. When you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing. 44
You’re never required to give up your protections from balance billing. You also aren’t required to get care out-of-network. You can choose a provider or facility in your plan’s network. There are some states that have surprise bill or balance billing laws. These laws apply to fully insured plans and may impact self-funded plans, including state or municipal government plans and church group plans. Please check with your plan administrator and/or insurance certificate/booklet to see if state law applies to your coverage. When balance billing isn’t allowed, you also have the following protections: • You are only responsible for paying your share of the cost (like the copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles that you would pay if the provider or facility was in-network). Your health plan will pay out-of-network providers and facilities directly. • Your health plan generally must: o Cover emergency services without requiring you to get approval for services in advance (prior authorization). o Cover emergency services by out-of-network providers. o Base what you owe the provider or facility (cost-sharing) on what it would pay an in-network provider or facility and show that amount in your explanation of benefits. o Count any amount you pay for emergency services or out-of-network services toward your deductible and out-of-pocket limit. If you believe you’ve been wrongly billed, you may contact: • The US Department of Health and Human Services at: Phone: 800-985-3059 Website: https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises/consumers • Your state agency, which can be found at: https://www.cms.gov/CCIIO/Resources/Consumer-Assistance-Grants 45
General Notice of COBRA Rights (For use by single-employer group health plans) Continuation Coverage Rights Under COBRA Introduction You’re getting this notice because you recently gained coverage under a group health plan (the Plan). This notice has important information about your right to COBRA continuation coverage, which is a temporary extension of coverage under the Plan. This notice explains COBRA continuation coverage, when it may become available to you and your family, and what you need to do to protect your right to get it. When you become eligible for COBRA, you may also become eligible for other coverage options that may cost less than COBRA continuation coverage. The right to COBRA continuation coverage was created by a federal law, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA). COBRA continuation coverage can become available to you and other members of your family when group health coverage would otherwise end. For more information about your rights and obligations under the Plan and under federal law, you should review the Plan’s Summary Plan Description or contact the Plan Administrator. You may have other options available to you when you lose group health coverage. For example, you may be eligible to buy an individual plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace. By enrolling in coverage through the Marketplace, you may qualify for lower costs on your monthly premiums and lower out-of-pocket costs. Additionally, you may qualify for a 30-day special enrollment period for another group health plan for which you are eligible (such as a spouse’s plan), even if that plan generally doesn’t accept late enrollees. What is COBRA continuation coverage? COBRA continuation coverage is a continuation of Plan coverage when it would otherwise end because of a life event. This is also called a “qualifying event.” Specific qualifying events are listed later in this notice. After a qualifying event, COBRA continuation coverage must be offered to each person who is a “qualified beneficiary.” You, your spouse, and your dependent children could become qualified beneficiaries if coverage under the Plan is lost because of the qualifying event. Under the Plan, qualified beneficiaries who elect COBRA continuation coverage must pay for COBRA continuation coverage. If you’re an employee, you’ll become a qualified beneficiary if you lose your coverage under the Plan because of the following qualifying events: • Your hours of employment are reduced, or • Your employment ends for any reason other than your gross misconduct. If you’re the spouse of an employee, you’ll become a qualified beneficiary if you lose your coverage under the Plan because of the following qualifying events: • Your spouse dies; • Your spouse’s hours of employment are reduced; • Your spouse’s employment ends for any reason other than his or her gross misconduct; • Your spouse becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both); or 46
• You become divorced or legally separated from your spouse. Your dependent children will become qualified beneficiaries if they lose coverage under the Plan because of the following qualifying events: • The parent-employee dies; • The parent-employee’s hours of employment are reduced; • The parent-employee’s employment ends for any reason other than his or her gross misconduct; • The parent-employee becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (Part A, Part B, or both); • The parents become divorced or legally separated; or • The child stops being eligible for coverage under the Plan as a “dependent child.” When is COBRA continuation coverage available? The Plan will offer COBRA continuation coverage to qualified beneficiaries only after the Plan Administrator has been notified that a qualifying event has occurred. The employer must notify the Plan Administrator of the following qualifying events: • The end of employment or reduction of hours of employment; Death of the employee; • The employee’s becoming entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both). For all other qualifying events (divorce or legal separation of the employee and spouse or a dependent child’s losing eligibility for coverage as a dependent child), you must notify the Plan Administrator within 60 days after the qualifying event occurs. You must provide this notice to: Debbie Segura 4643 E. Richey Rd. Humble, Texas 77338 How is COBRA continuation coverage provided? Once the Plan Administrator receives notice that a qualifying event has occurred, COBRA continuation coverage will be offered to each of the qualified beneficiaries. Each qualified beneficiary will have an independent right to elect COBRA continuation coverage. Covered employees may elect COBRA continuation coverage on behalf of their spouses, and parents may elect COBRA continuation coverage on behalf of their children. COBRA continuation coverage is a temporary continuation of coverage that generally lasts for 18 months due to employment termination or reduction of hours of work. Certain qualifying events, or a second qualifying event during the initial period of coverage, may permit a beneficiary to receive a maximum of 36 months of coverage. There are also ways in which this 18-month period of COBRA continuation coverage can be extended: 47
Disability extension of 18-month period of COBRA continuation coverage If you or anyone in your family covered under the Plan is determined by Social Security to be disabled and you notify the Plan Administrator in a timely fashion, you and your entire family may be entitled to get up to an additional 11 months of COBRA continuation coverage, for a maximum of 29 months. The disability would have to have started at some time before the 60th day of COBRA continuation coverage and must last at least until the end of the 18-month period of COBRA continuation coverage. Second qualifying event extension of 18-month period of continuation coverage If your family experiences another qualifying event during the 18 months of COBRA continuation coverage, the spouse and dependent children in your family can get up to 18 additional months of COBRA continuation coverage, for a maximum of 36 months, if the Plan is properly notified about the second qualifying event. This extension may be available to the spouse and any dependent children getting COBRA continuation coverage if the employee or former employee dies; becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both); gets divorced or legally separated; or if the dependent child stops being eligible under the Plan as a dependent child. This extension is only available if the second qualifying event would have caused the spouse or dependent child to lose coverage under the Plan had the first qualifying event not occurred. Are there other coverage options besides COBRA Continuation Coverage? Yes. Instead of enrolling in COBRA continuation coverage, there may be other coverage options for you and your family through the Health Insurance Marketplace, Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), or other group health plan coverage options (such as a spouse’s plan) through what is called a “special enrollment period.” Some of these options may cost less than COBRA continuation coverage. You can learn more about many of these options at www.healthcare.gov. Can I enroll in Medicare instead of COBRA continuation coverage after my group health plan coverage ends? In general, if you don’t enroll in Medicare Part A or B when you are first eligible because you are still employed, after the Medicare initial enrollment period, you have an 8-month special enrollment period1 to sign up for Medicare Part A or B, beginning on the earlier of • The month after your employment ends; or • The month after group health plan coverage based on current employment ends. If you don’t enroll in Medicare and elect COBRA continuation coverage instead, you may have to pay a Part B late enrollment penalty and you may have a gap in coverage if you decide you want Part B later. If you elect COBRA continuation coverage and later enroll in Medicare Part A or B before the COBRA continuation coverage ends, the Plan may terminate your continuation coverage. However, if Medicare Part A or B is effective on or before the date of the COBRA election, COBRA coverage may not be discontinued on account of Medicare entitlement, even if you enroll in the other part of Medicare after the date of the election of COBRA coverage. 1 https://www.medicare.gov/sign-up-change-plans/how-do-i-get-parts-a-b/part-a-part-b-sign-up-periods. 48
If you are enrolled in both COBRA continuation coverage and Medicare, Medicare will generally pay first (primary payer) and COBRA continuation coverage will pay second. Certain plans may pay as if secondary to Medicare, even if you are not enrolled in Medicare. For more information visit https://www.medicare.gov/medicare-and-you.
