COBRA Dental Insurance is an option many people wonder about when they lose, quit, or retire from their job and are considering COBRA insurance. In many cases people who had dental insurance coverage as a part of their health insurance plan, can continue their dental insurance with COBRA if they qualify under the federal requirements. However in some cases if the dental plan was an additional or optional add-on, or completely separate plan it will not be covered under the federal COBRA insurance laws. Even if you are covered under COBRA dental insurance, you still may want to consider outside dental coverage which can be significantly cheaper than COBRA dental insurance.
