Looking for an alternative to COBRA?

Continuing coverage through a former employer’s plan (called COBRA) is expensive and may not be your only option. InstaCare monthly rates are surprisingly affordable and may be a better choice for you. Get a quote. Minnesota state law lets you have 365 days of short-term coverage in any 555-day period, so you can buy additional terms of your InstaCare coverage if you need it for longer than your initial coverage period.
