Putting this out there to hopefully save anyone who may have fallen into the same predicament I just found myself in. If you're like me, because I was told FIS covers COBRA for 3 months, you selected all the same options that you had while employed, health, dental, vision, etc. Be aware, FIS does NOT cover vision. You need to access the Health Equity Wage Works site and pay the vision amount if you have not already. Until you do so, no paperwork will be submitted by Health Equity to notify of your medical (including CVS) or dental coverage, leaving you without any medical or dental insurance.

I have a question for those that chose to do the 3 months cobra. Are you able to drop it and add Healthcare.gov after the 3 months or are you stuck having to pay the cobra if you don’t have another job? Didn’t know if that qualifies as a life change event or only at the time of layoff.
@15n Obviously. But as the OP stated, FIS is paying for the first three month's premiums. So, in that case, no- it's free! ;)
Isn’t COBRA expensive?
@OP thank you!!!
