Does anyone know if there are any potential issues with moving to another state while insured under COBRA? I wouldn't think so, but since health care is regulated at the state level it seems possible there could be issues.
Moving to another state while on COBRA?

I should add, I can imagine there are obvious issues if your insurer only is licensed in your original state of employment, but in my case I have insurance through a large national carrier (United Health Care)

If your ex-employers Plan is not with an approved carrier (insurance company or TPA) that is licensed in the new state, you may have a problem. I suggest that you take this up with the company that administers your COBRA Plan. Ask that the provide you with a written response. Don't assume anything.
