I've read so many different things on here about what to do about the amount owed with Optum/Cobra.. I went ahead and signed for the amount that was like $1200/month because I assumed the amount will get fixed. This feels F*cking illegal. It's in our signed severance that they will cover us for 3 months. My portion is usually only around $300 a month. So, even if I DID pay the $1200 (which I cant afford too) it would WAY MORE Than those 3 months combined. That place is sooo fu---d. So unorganized. I'm so glad to be out of that fu--ing mess. BUT...does anyone have actual clarity on what we should? Wait to see if the amount adjusts? It's not like most of us can even afford to sue their a-s over this.

@e6 won't we lose coverage though if we dont pay by 10/1? when I called thats what they made it seem like
Logged into Optum this morning and saw the subsidy reflected on my Oct 1 bill.
@e6 I was just told that even if you pay by 10/1 (that is the amount is adjusted correctly), then it takes 7-10 business days for your plan to even be reinstated, meaning I wont really have coverage for that time period. FU-K Centene.
I just called Optum and was told that the subsidy will show on their site 10 - 15 business days after you sign the separation agreement. So most of us, if not all, signed on 9/4 so the correct amount should show by the end of the week (9/25). First payment is due no later than October 31.
